Solution
The correct option is A Miller and Urey
Miller and Urey have established the chemical experiment that simulated the conditions thought at the time to be present on the early Earth and tested the chemical origin of life under those conditions. The experiment tested Alexander Oparin's and J. B. S. Haldane's hypothesis that conditions on the primitive Earth favoured chemical reactions that synthesize more complex organic compounds from simpler inorganic precursors. He used methane, ammonia, water and reacts them at 800$^0C. This reaction produces an amino acid, the primary structure of life. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
