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.

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