Solution
The correct option is A Haldane
Haldane's ideas about the origin of life were very similar to Oparin's. Haldane proposed that the primordial sea served as a vast chemical laboratory powered by solar energy. The atmosphere was oxygen free, and the combination of carbon dioxide, ammonia and ultraviolet radiation gave rise to a host of organic compounds. The sea became a hot dilute soup containing large populations of organic monomers and polymers. Haldane explained that groups of monomers and polymers acquired lipid membranes, and that further developments eventually led to the first living cells. Haldane coined the term 'prebiotic soup', and this became a powerful symbol of the Oparin-Haldane view of the origin of life.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
