The average size of a living organism on a planet is inversely proportional to the net downward force exerted on the organism. This is the reason that large planets with high levels of gravitational force typically harbor organisms of the smallest sizes. However, a recent study concluded that Xandar, one of the larger planets with a large gravitational force, if habitable, would create an ecosystem that would breed extremely large organisms.
Which statement below best explains the contrast above?
A. Calcium deposits found in the water of Xandar will lead to stronger bones of the organisms.
B. Nidavellir, a planet 5% larger than Xandar, has shown evidence of supporting extremely large organisms.
C. Xandar is covered with nitrogen, the primary content in fertilizer, and hence will support the growth of rich flora.
D. Since Xandar is completely covered in water, the buoyant force of water will counter the gravitational force, reducing the overall net force acting on the organism.
E. Scientists claim that Xandar will support the growth of smallest 4-legged micro-organism ever seen.

IMO ans should be D.
Only D according to me resolve paradox since downward pull of gravity is counteracted by upward buoyant force of water.
So D logically explain why ecosystem on planet Xandar will breed extremely tall organisms.

A. Calcium deposits found in the water of Xandar will lead to stronger bones of the organisms. Stronger bones do not lead to large creatures.
B. Nidavellir, a planet 5% larger than Xandar, has shown evidence of supporting extremely large organisms. It gives evidence supporting but does not explain the controversy.
C. Xandar is covered with nitrogen, the primary content in fertilizer, and hence will support the growth of rich flora.nitrogen will not counter the effects of gravitational push
D. Since Xandar is completely covered in water, the buoyant force of water will counter the gravitational force, reducing the overall net force acting on the organism.It explains counter force balancing the gravitation. this choice also resolves the paradox.
E. Scientists claim that Xandar will support the growth of smallest 4-legged micro-organism ever seen.Again no relevance with the paradox
