Oparin of Russia and Haldane of England proposed that:
| I: | the first form of life could have come from pre-existing non-living organic molecules (e.g. RNA, protein, etc.) |
| II: | formation of life was preceded by chemical evolution, i.e., the formation of diverse organic molecules from inorganic constituents. |
| III: | The conditions on earth were – high temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere containing CH4, NH3, etc. |
| 1. | Only I and II are correct. |
| 2. | Only I and III are correct. |
| 3. | Only II and III are correct. |
| 4. | I, II and III are correct. |
