    C of well over Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D to well through Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No replacement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "For well over" in this context means that Moore's Law has been in effect for a considerable amount of time, specifically more than half a century. It suggests that the law has been applicable for a long period, even beyond what one might have expected. The other options do not convey the same sense of extended duration, making "for well over" the most appropriate choice in this context.
