Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

(b) : Evidences suggest that essential life processes such as metabolism, splicing , translation, etc. evolved around RNA . RNA used to act as a genetic material as well as a catalyst and being a catalyst it was reactive and hence unstable. Therefore, DNA has evolved from RNA with chemical modifications.
