The greatest chance for the existence of extraterrestrial life is on a planet beyond our solar system. The Milky Way galaxy alone contains 100 billion other suns, many of which could be accompanied by planets similar enough to Earth to make them suitable abodes of life.
The statement presupposes which of the following?
A. Living creatures on another planet would probably have the same appearance as those on Earth.
B. Life cannot exist on other planets in our solar system.
C. If the appropriate physical conditions exist, life is an inevitable consequence.
D. More than one of the suns in the galaxy is accompanied by an Earth-like planet.
E. It is likely that life on another planet would require conditions similar to those on Earth.

C, D and E are all close contenders with minute differences.
C. If the appropriate physical conditions exist, life is an ((inevitable)) consequence.
- too strong. The argument is not strongly suggesting the same. It states about a possibility. Hence, eliminate.
D. More than one of the suns in the galaxy is accompanied by an Earth-like planet. - if we negate it, it doesn't destroy the conclusion. It doesn't even affect it if we closely observe.
E. It is ((likely)) that life on another planet would require conditions similar to those on Earth. - negate this and the argument falls apart. It is the best so far.
Hence, E is the right choice.
