Which statement regarding celestial bodies beyond Earth in our Solar System is correct?

The dwarf planet Ceres resides in the Kuiper belt beyond Neptune, with an orbital period of approximately 248 Earth years.

Titan, a moon of Saturn, is the only natural satellite in our Solar System known to possess a dense atmosphere and stable bodies of liquid on its surface.

According to Kepler's Third Law, a satellite in a circular orbit around Jupiter at a radius of 4RJ4R_{\text{J}}4RJ​ will have an orbital period exactly twice that of a satellite orbiting at 2RJ2R_{\text{J}}2RJ​.

Mercury has a significantly higher surface gravitational field strength than Mars because its average orbital distance from the Sun is much smaller.
