Solution

The possible reasons that explain why there is no planet between Mars and Jupiter are:

  1. The gravitational effects of Jupiter, on the asteroid belt, when its orbit migrated toward Mars.
  2. There was not enough material, in the asteroid belt, to form a planet in the early solar system.
  3. There are too many asteroids in the asteroid belt to allow a planet to form.

The scattering of objects caused by the orbital switch of Uranus and Neptune is not a correct answer because Uranus and Neptune are located beyond Jupiter and their orbital switch would not have a significant effect on the region between Mars and Jupiter.
