Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option A: Mars

The correct answer is “Mars”.

There is a possibility that Mars may have the conditions suitable for the existence of life, although there is no conclusive evidence of it yet.

Other planets like Mercury and Venus are too hot, while Jupiter is a gas giant without a solid surface, and therefore, not considered suitable for the existence of life as we know it.
