Solution

The correct option is C Glutamic acid
Glutamic acid was not found to be synthesised in Miller's experiment because of its complex synthesis. Amino acids which are simple in structure and require simple reaction for synthesis were formed during the experiment whereas others with complex structure and complex biosynthetic pathway are not.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
