None of them! The asteroid belt isn't a planet or anything of that matter, so it can't be rocky. It's not a gas giant, either, because it's not a giant planet as Jupiter is, and it's not made of gases. There is nothing to support the ice, so it's impossible to be icy. Surprised? Well, that's the answer for you! : $) (that's my beautiful mustache smiley!)
