Suppose we discover a "super-Earth" at a distance of 10AU from its star. Should we consider it to be potentially habitable?

A) Yes, its atmosphere may contain substantial amounts of greenhouse-type gases that can keep the planet warm beyond the usual boundaries assumed for habitable zones. B) Yes, because its host star must be much bigger in order to have a super-Earth, so it will be much hotter there. C) No, only planets at approximately 1AU will ever be potentially habitable. D) No, greenhouse gases "freeze-out" at those distances.
