Solution

The correct option is B abiogenesis
According to the theory of abiogenesis or biochemical evolution, complex organic molecules like ammonia and nitrogen-ringed structures formed from simpler inorganic substances like methane, hydrogen and nitrogen. From here, these complex organic molecules evolved through their interaction with each other and the environment and started forming even more complex structures and molecules, eventually forming the first instance of a molecule of life, the RNA.
