If 10% or more of a planet's total mass is water, there can be no freshwater environment on that planet as bodies of freshwater are produced by accumulation of natural precipitation on land. A planet without any freshwater environment is unlikely to harbour complex forms of life because they require a good amount of phosphorus to be present in absorbable form in their environment.
Which of the following can be inferred from the information provided above?
A. If 10% or more of a planet's total mass is water, natural precipitation cannot occur on that planet.
B. If 10% or more of a planet's total mass is water, there can be no dry land on that planet.
C. If 10% or more of a planet's total mass is water, there can be little phosphorus on that planet.
D. A planet without any freshwater environment is likely to have simple forms of life in abundance.
E. A planet without any freshwater environment is likely to contain no phosphorus at all.
