Solution
The correct option is B Organic monomers Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted an experiment which demonstrated that several organic compounds could be formed spontaneously by simulating the conditions of Earth's early atmosphere. Scientists examining sealed vials preserved from the original experiments were able to show that there were actually well over 20 different amino acids produced in Miller's original experiments. Amino acids are organic monomers.
