Solution

The correct option is A Stanley Miller
Stanley Miller was an American chemist who conducted one of the most exciting experiments in modern science. It sought to answer the question, How did life on Earth begin? It's a complex question, and one that has still not been fully answered and may never be. Miller's famous experiment, though, gave us an idea of how life could have developed out of non-living matter, a process called as abiogenesis.
