Is it not B?

I think B is preferable to C because in C it was said having detected ............. and the sentence ended there it self with out any meaning....
In general having follows a conclusion or some question......

Jupiter's mass versus mass of Jupiter

I am sure that is easy to eliminate C, D, and E choices. I think A is correct - because it has "mass of Jupiter" - It is wrong to say Jupiter's mass because Jupiter is not a living thing.

A is correct. We can simply eliminate choices with "Jupiter's Mass" since after it, we see "largest planet" which should refer to Jupiter, not Jupiter's Mass...

Looking for 780~
