  B) Jupiter's moons would have been likely to develop life, which would have competed with life on Earth.
  C) The extra radiation from a second star in the solar system would have prevented life forming on Earth.
  D) Jupiter's magnetic field would have been much larger, disrupting Earth's magnetic field.
