Solution
The correct option is C Earth
Some specific environmental conditions are responsible for the existence of life on Earth. These include just the right distance from the Sun, so that it has the right range of surface temperature, the presence of surface water, suitable atmospheric composition, and a thick blanket of ozone to protect the surface from radiation.
Other planets lack one or more of the above criteria, and hence, are lifeless.
