Many animals do not need sunlight to live. Several species of fish were found on such depths as 10 kilometers and lower. These animals live under extreme pressure, in total darkness and without oxygen. Scientists predict that more specimen that never see sunlight will be found on the floors of the oceans within the next five years.
The statements above, if true, best support which of the following conclusions?
a. Planets such as Mars probably have life organisms below the surface of the planet or in its frozen oceans.
b. Scientists will look for funding to execute searches for new life on the floors of the oceans within the next year, as the economy is predicted to be on the rise and therefore it will be possible to find all necessary funding to conduct the research for the next five years.
c. Fish and other life forms that live on the floors of the oceans will not survive if either taken to the surface of the oceans or if global warming continues on it's pace.
d. After Sun ceases to warm the Earth, life forms that do not need sunlight or warmth, like those found on the floors of the ocean, will survive and then fight for dominance on Earth.
e. It is critical that search for new life forms that do not require sunlight or oxygen and live in extreme pressure environments is conducted in order to construct theories of whether humans will ever be able to live on distant planets such as Mars.

Absolutely my most miserable day with CRs.
Editing answer to A. Very simple - just needed to read the question straight.
I'm going to screw up!!! 
The task is to find the statement best supported by the question stem...

Premises: Many animals do not need sunlight to live. Several species of fish were found on such depths as 10 kilometers and lower. These animals live under extreme pressure, in total darkness and without oxygen.
Conclusion: Scientists predict that more specimen that never see sunlight will be found on the floors of the oceans within the next five years.
Best choice that SUPPORTS conclusion:
a. What do we care about Mars? out of scope
b. WINNER... exactly what I was looking for... funding is available, search starts soon and funding is available for the next 5 years... good opportunity to find those poor creatures who have never seen the light
c. the question is whether they will be found... if they survive or not is irrelevant. out of scope
d. same as C... animals need light/warmth or not is not an issue... out of scope
e. Oh... mars again, some crazy theories how to tie those poor unfounded animals... LETS find them first (that is what the argument it)... and then draw crazy theories like that... OUT of scope
