Solution

The correct option is A Life
How life actually originated we do not know but we do know that it started with accumulation of biomolecules produced in reducing atmosphere. The biomolecules later on gave rise to aggregates of biomolecules. First nucleoproteins were most probably produced on clay surfaces. That was the important first sign of life because it meant a transition from an aggregate of biomolecule to a self replicating entity, an important characteristic of living organisms.
