Solution
The correct option is C Abiogenesis
One of the firm believers in spontaneous generation was Aristotle, the Greek philosopher (384-322 BC). He believed that dead leaves falling from a tree into a pond would transform into fishes and those falling on soil would transform into worms and insects. He also held that some insects develop from morning dew and rotting manure. He believed in abiogenesis.
According to panspermia theory, life has reached this planet Earth from other heavenly bodies such as meteorites, in the form of highly resistance spores of some organisms. This idea was proposed by Richter in 1865 and supported by Arrhenius (1908) and other contemporary scientists.
Panspermia theory is also called as cosmozoic theory which was given by Arrhenius.
According to theory of special creation, all the different forms of life that occur today on planet earth, have been created by God, the almighty. This idea is found in the ancient scriptures of almost every religion. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma, the God of Creation, created the living world in accordance to his wish. This theory is not given by Aristotle.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
