Solution

The correct option is C Glutamic acid
Miller and Urey were the two scientists who recreated the conditions of primitive earth in laboratory and abiotically synthesized amino acids and bases. They synthesized glycine, aspartic acid and alanine in abundance quantities while glutamic acid is not synthesized in their experiment.

So, the correct answer is 'Glutamic acid'.
