Solution
The correct option is B Amino acids
Stanley Miller and his advisor Harold Urey in 1953, created experimental conditions similar to primitive Earth and could synthesise several significant substances like amino acids, adenine, sugars etc. from the contents of his high-energy or spark discharge chamber experimental setup. These organic substances were formed when raw materials like carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and water vapour were allowed to react in the spark discharge chamber under the right conditions.
