Read the stem very carefully.

I think the other two people understood the question. I think the contention arises because the first theory does not indicate any belief about the craters on the moon (And is challenges by the idea of rocks hitting the moon 4.5B years ago). In fact all the first theory says is that planets are caused by collapsing dust. Clouds of dust directly turn into planets. Only the second theory mention rocks from planet formation. Why would the first theory believe that planet-forming rocks created 4.5 billion years collided with the moon? Its more likely the first theory would believe moon craters are caused by volcanoes or whatever, rather than objects(nonexistant) during planet formation.
It seems like the two theories differ in their beliefs about the cause of moon's craters?
Any alternative explanations would be appreciated!
