To determine the correct classifications for Charon based on the new planet definition, we need to evaluate each option provided in the context of current astronomical standards.

1. Planet: Charon does not meet the criteria to be classified as a planet because it does not orbit the Sun independently; it orbits Pluto.

2. Dwarf Planet: According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the Sun and has enough mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces, allowing it to assume a nearly round shape. Charon does not fit this definition either since it is not in orbit around the Sun.

3. Plutoid: Plutoids are a subset of dwarf planets that are located beyond the orbit of Neptune. Charon, being a moon of Pluto, does not qualify as a plutoid.

4. Asteroid: Charon is not classified as an asteroid, as asteroids are typically small rocky bodies that primarily reside in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

5. Moon: Charon is classified as a moon (specifically, the largest moon of Pluto). It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet.

Summary of Classifications:

• Correct Answer: Moon
• Incorrect Answers: Planet, Dwarf Planet, Plutoid, Asteroid

In conclusion, the only correct classification for Charon from the given options is that it is a moon.
