The correct option is (D) Theory of abiogenesis
The theory of abiogenesis states that life originated from some non-living organic compounds in the oceans of primitive earth through a series of chemical reactions.
Abiogenesis is a theory that aims to demonstrate how life initially started. It has referred to the now disproved theory of spontaneous generation. It was initially believed that sophisticated living things like mice, maggots, and other creatures could appear out of nothing. Before investigations by Louis Pasteur and others demonstrated its untruth, this idea was widely embraced by early thinkers for a long time. The theory is now succeeded by the theory of biogenesis, which states that only other living things can produce living things and not non-living things.
Final answer (D) Theory of abiogenesis
