b. Ganymede

c. Callisto

d. Europa

ANSWER: Europa

Explanation:

Jupiter has 67 natural satellites. Out of those 4 (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callista) are massive and are known as Galilean Moons.

NASA is planning to send a lander on the Europa to find signs of life.

The probe will find Europa's composition, the nature of its sub-surface ocean, as well as its ability to host life.

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) is a mission to Europa that is due to launch in 2022.

The mission is now known as Europa Multiple-Flyby Mission.

It comprises of an orbiter and a lander. Set for a launch in the 2020s (around 2022), the spacecraft are being developed to study the Galilean moon Europa through a lander and a series of flybys while in orbit around Jupiter.
