Given what we know, we can confirm that the definitions mentioned in the question correspond to a meteor, asteroid, meteorite, and comet in that exact order.
Why is this the correct order of answers?
A meteor is defined as any object from outer space that enters the atmosphere of the Earth but does not make it to the ground since it burns up.
Alternatively, those that do make it all the way to the Earth's surface are considered meteorites.
An asteroid and a comet are very similar, their difference is that asteroids are mostly rock and metal, while comets are almost entirely made of ice and dust.
Therefore, given the options permitted and the order of the definitions, we can confirm that the first definition describes a meteor, while the second describes an asteroid. Furthermore, the third description explains a meteorite and the final one describes a comet.
