Read the given information and answer the question. `Despite spending huge amount of money, we have not yet been able to find life on other planets. I am personally of the opinion that such research should stop with immediate effect as it is a waste of time and money as no good will ever come out of it Instead it would be better to use this money to research other elements in space' Statement by a Scientist from Space Institute of Country X. Which of the following does not weaken the statement of the scientist of space institute of country X?

Although life on other planets has not been discovered yet, such research has widened our knowledge and understanding about other plariets and has led to growth and development in science.

According to space scientists, if such efforts are continued, the probability of finding life in at least one other planet is much higher as compared to not finding life at all.

Various other research projects taken up by the said institute in the past have also failed despite spending huge amount of time as well as money on them.

With the amount of time and money that has already been invested in this research, shutting it now would lead to a greater loss than continuing the search.

None of the above
