There is no life on moon due to the absence of -

  1. O2
  2. Light
  3. Water
  4. Temperature

Answer

(3) Water

Solution

Life as we know it needs liquid water: all life processes take place in an aqueous medium, and life itself originated in water.

∵ The moon has no atmosphere and its weak gravity cannot hold water vapour, so liquid water cannot exist on its surface.

⇒ Light and temperature are present on the moon; oxygen is not essential for all life (anaerobes live without it).

∴ The absence of water is the reason for no life on the moon.

Answer: (3)
