I would say A, the correct idiom is consider X Y. That takes out c, d, and e.

I'd go b.

eliminate a, d and e - run ons
eliminate c - separates ideas of too cold to support life and frozen from top to bottom

yea i just searched for this question, answer b is written wrong, it should be...Europa has long been considered far too cold to support life, its..and i agree b should be the answer. Is a wrong because there is no subject after and and it is a fragment?

I don't see any perfect answer vhere. But I'd choose A. Because it uses Consider XY idioim.

B is wrong because TOO FAR COLD is wrong. It should be FAR TOO COLD

Guys,

thank you for your elaboration

OA is B.

it doesn't make sense to my why though. maybe because English is not my native tongue.

I am going to double check if it (B) is written as far too cold or too far cold.
It is possible that it was my mistake when I was posting this. i appologize in advance for that.
