A.the limits of habitable zone above the surface of the Earth
C.search for the Earth-like planets in outer space
Correct Answer: Option C
The 'Goldilocks Zone' refers to the habitable zone around a star.
This zone is where the temperature is just right (not too hot, not too cold) for liquid water to exist on a planet's surface.
Liquid water is considered a crucial ingredient for the development of life as we know it. Therefore, the Goldilocks Zone is vital in the search for Earth-like planets in outer space.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
