Solution
The correct option is B Urey and Miller
Years after Oparin and Haldane independently proposed the theory of abiogenesis (origin of life from inorganic substances), in 1953, Urey and Miller experimentally proved that the origin of life was from inorganic substances. In their experiment, they created laboratory conditions similar to what would have been on the earth at the time of origin of life. Their experiment resulted in the formation of organic matter such as amino acids which gave evidence to support their theory.
