A. Titan

Titan is the most Earth-like extraterrestrial object we have found. It is the only known moon with an atmosphere and has rain, lakes, and oceans.

Although conditions are mostly nitrogen and methane, under the ice is where life is most likely to be detected

Ganymede Io and our moon do not have a strong enough atmosphere to be able to support much life
