c. Europa has long been considered as far too cold to support and has
d. Europa, long considered as for too cold to support life, and its
e. Europa, long considered to be far too cold to support life, and to have


OA B

IMO;B

considered as and considered to are not the right idioms..

thus we are left with A and B

we don't need a conjunction here, as used in A

Instead, the cause "60 square miles of water tought to be frozen from top to bottom." should modify "Jupiter's moon Europa has long been considered far too cold to support life" as done in B.

thanks

we don't need a conjunction here, as used in A ...are you referring to "with" here ?
