D
Venus has an atmosphere which is composed of large amounts of CO2. This creates a greenhouse effect with that atmosphere trapping the heat on the surface of the planet raising the temperature to around 400 °C. Because of these gases Venus is hotter than Mercury even though it is much farther from the sun.
It is not A because Venus does have an atmosphere. It is not B because escape speed refers to an object being able to break away from the gravitational pull of an object. Venus is not able to break away from the suns gravitational field but this does not have a negative effect on life (look at earth). C is incorrect because Venus' surface is extremely hot.

Runaway greenhouse effect makes Venus much too hot to support life as we know it.

If we ever do find "life" on another planet it is very possible that we will have to reevaluate our definition of life.
