Comet Hale-Bopp is the most likely candidate to originate from the Oort Cloud. It has a long orbital period, taking approximately 2,533 years to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is characteristic of comets from the Oort Cloud. In contrast, comets like Borrelly and Hyakutake have shorter orbital periods, indicating they are likely from the Kuiper Belt or are periodic comets.
