D
Correct answer
Explanation
Europa is one of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. It is slightly smaller than Earth's moon and is of great interest to scientists due to the possibility of a liquid water ocean beneath its icy surface. Saturn's largest moon is Titan, while Venus and Earth do not have a moon named Europa.
