Could someone answer the following question for me?

What is the current status of our search for inhabitable, Earth-like planets circling other stars? 

A). So far, we have found only high-mass planets similar to Jupiter or Neptune, but in 10 to 20 years we should be able to detect smaller, terrestrial planets.

B). We have found several Earth-like planets with oxygen-rich atmospheres, but have not yet confirmed whether the oxygen is biological or non-biological in origin.

C). We have found a few planets so far that are probably rocky, Earth-like planets, and more discoveries should soon follow.

D). We have detected almost 1000 low-mass planets similar to the Earth, although atmospheric oxygen (a sign of life) has not yet been detected.
