Answer to Question 1

O; B

Answer to Question 2

Future technology (such as large space-based interferometers) will be able to measure the far-infrared spectrum of the planet's atmosphere. Ozone produces a strong feature in the earth's atmosphere and would be detectable in the spectrum of hypothetical extrasolar planet. Ozone is related to oxygen, which is highly reactive and would rapidly disappear (through oxidation) from the atmosphere were it not being constantly replenished. Converting oxides back to oxygen requires energy and such a chemical reaction would not spontaneously. In the earth's case, the energy comes from the sun via photosynthesis in plants. Therefore, the detection of ozone in the spectrum of another planet would be a strong indicator of life.
