In the question given below, a passage is given followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Scientists have discovered a new exoplanet orbiting a star about 120 light-years away. The planet, roughly twice the size of Earth, is located in the star’s habitable zone — the region where conditions might allow liquid water to exist. However, researchers have not yet confirmed whether the planet actually contains water or an atmosphere. The discovery was made using data from an advanced space telescope designed to detect planets outside our solar system.
I. The exoplanet has been confirmed to support life.
II. The exoplanet is larger than Earth.
III. The space telescope used in the discovery can detect planets orbiting distant stars.
