Solution
The correct option is A Macromolecules Life originated by chemosynthesis i.e., synthesis of organic bio-molecules from inorganic compounds through chemical processes. In the primitive earth, biological catalysts were absent and organic bio-molecules could have evolved from inorganic molecules through chemical synthesis and chemical reactions could have converted simple organic compounds into macromolecules.
