Would a planet orbiting a red giant star be the best place be searching for life?

a. Yes, because stars like this are in binary pairs, and the companion stars are likely places to find life-bearing planets.

b. No, because this star would have expanded to envelop any planets in the life zone as it nears the end of its life.

c. Yes, because cooler stars have a high probability of forming earth-like planets in the life zone.

d. No, because stars like this never live long enough on the main sequence for life to develop and evolve.
