Explanation / Answer
This is very interesting question and before answer this question I would like to introduce with few terms that I think necessary to understand the answer to this question
Tidal heating : As we know each object in universe feeling some gravitational force due to another object however sometimes it is more and some time it is less. In case of Io it feel gravitational force due to Jupiter and other satellites rotating around Jupiter. The gravitational pull due to the Jupiter is opposite in direction to the gravitational pull of other satellites so Surface of Io is continuously facing unequal outward force and try to readjust itself against these forces and during its readjustment, lots of heat produce which heat the Io and this phenomenon is known as Tidal Heating. In case of Io, the tidal heating is maximum than any object in our solar system which makes it most volcano eruptive body in our solar system.
Answer: Travel agent will choose B and D
Explanation: As I have already explained in Tidal heating theory that due to very high tidal heating Io is the most eruptive object in our solar system with more than 400 volcanoes on its surface and these volcanoes continuously ejecting sulphur into the atmosphere hence Sulfurous environment. Because of very large amount of heat, the water is not in its liquid state, it is either escaped or in vapour form, so no chance of rain, in fact, it is the only object with least water so no question about rain to occur. It doesn't contain any hydrocarbon, it is Titan which contain lots of hydrocarbons.
