Life is not necessarily connected with oxygen. A lot of living organisms, such as anaerobic bacteria, which can live without oxygen, are known to exist on Earth. Some of them can utilize oxygen if it is present, some cannot use it but can tolerate its presence, and some have a negative reaction to oxygen and will even die in an oxygen environment.
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the passage above?
(A) Bacteria are able to exist without oxygen.
(B) The locations at which anaerobic bacteria were found did not contain any oxygen.
(C) If a planet has no oxygen, that does not necessarily mean there is no life on it.
(D) If a bacterium were found in an oxygen environment, then it was not an anaerobic bacterium.
(E) Living organisms such as anaerobic bacteria probably live on some other planets of the Solar System.

(A) Bacteria are able to exist without oxygen. A lot of living organisms, such as anaerobic bacteria, which can live without oxygen. This gives an example of anaerobic bacteria, it isn't saying "all" bacteria
(B) The locations at which anaerobic bacteria were found did not contain any oxygen. Some of them can utilize oxygen if it is present, .... Conflicts the argument
(C) If a planet has no oxygen, that does not necessarily mean there is no life on it. Yes, we can say no oxygen doesn't mean no life based on the passage
(D) If a bacterium were found in an oxygen environment, then it was not an anaerobic bacterium. Some of them can utilize oxygen if it is present, some cannot use it but can tolerate its presence,... Conflicts, some tolerate or use oxygen, so eliminate
(E) Living organisms such as anaerobic bacteria probably live on some other planets of the Solar System. We don't know that, eliminate
