The correct option is D Urey and Miller Experimental evidence regarding the formation of organic molecules from inorganic molecules was given by Urey and Miller. The experiment is called as Miller-Urey experiment. They built a closed system that contained hot water and a mixture of gases that were thought to be present in the primitive earth. These gases were water, methane, ammonia and nitrogen. They sent sparks of electricity in order to simulate the lightning that might have given energy for chemical reactions.
