Solution

The correct option is C Oparin and Haldane
Oparin and Haldane proposed that the origin of life was from inorganic substances. According to them, earth was vastly different during its earliest exsistence compared to how it is now. Earth's atmosphere did not have oxygen, life arose from chemical reactions and the chief sources of energy for these chemical reactions were UV rays, lighting and solar radiation.
