Detailed Solution
Water is essential for all known life. It is the medium in which biochemical reactions take place, it forms most of the body of organisms, and life itself is believed to have originated in water.
The moon has no liquid water and no atmosphere (so no protection from extreme temperatures and radiation).
It does receive light and has temperatures (though extreme), and some organisms (anaerobes) can live without oxygen.
So, as per the answer key, there is no life on the moon mainly due to the absence of water.
