You could never find a surface solid enough to stand on Saturn because the planet is less dense than water.
(A) solid enough to stand on Saturn
(B) on Saturn where it is solid enough to stand
(C) where it is solid enough that you can stand on Saturn
(D) on Saturn that is solid enough to stand
(E) that is so solid that one can stand on Saturn

[spoiler]i chose A cos dun feel any wrong in A, its precise ang short with idion " tobe + adj + enough to do +v"
but checked some website ang they said the correct answer is B and i am not convince with it [/spoiler]

I find D as the correct option.

We can wait for experts, who can easily explain this.

I also chose D, but just bc the remaining choices seemed weird. However, "on Saturn that is solid enough to stand " i feel like it is missing "on" after "stand" which makes B a possibility

In answer choice D,
You could never find a surface on Saturn that is solid enough to stand

I feel that is ambiguous here, can refer to surface or Saturn

In B, it does not have any clear antecedent.

+1 for A

But just wondering, surface solid enough to stand .... = is the bold-ed portion appositive?
