It is the source of some large objects, including the dwarf planet Pluto, but many small objects that are part of the elements left over from making the main objects in the solar system. It had been thought at one time that a lot of comets came from it, but that is not thought to be the case now.

Some short period comets do come from this region.

So, the expected answer is probably "comets".
