Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Earthlike planets with abundance of liquid water have been discovered in other star systems, but there is no evidence of life on them yet. This is the most recent and accurate status of our search for life elsewhere in the universe. A may not be true as we have not discovered life elsewhere in our own solar system. B may not be true as while there have been some promising findings, there is still no confirmed evidence of life on Earth-like exoplanets. D is not entirely true as exoplanets in habitable zones have been discovered, but they have not been shown to have signs of life.
