Solution

The correct option is A True

It is widely believed that organic chemicals led to the formation of self-replicating molecules like RNA and DNA, which are believed to have eventually formed the very first single-celled organisms on earth. This by further evolutionary forces, could have gradually turned into more complex forms of life. Therefore, life originating from organic chemicals (chemogeny) explains the theory of biochemical evolution.
