The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Miller's Experiment**: - Miller's experiment, conducted in 1953, aimed to simulate the conditions of the early Earth to test the hypothesis of abiogenesis, which is the origin of life from non-living matter. - The experiment involved a mixture of gases thought to be present in the early atmosphere (methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor) and subjected them to electrical sparks to simulate lightning. 2. **Formation of Organic Compounds**: - After running the experiment for a week, Miller analyzed the results and found that several organic compounds, including amino acids, had formed. - This demonstrated that organic compounds could be synthesized under prebiotic conditions, supporting the idea that life could have originated from simple organic molecules. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A**: "Organic compounds have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen." - This is incorrect because the early Earth atmosphere was reducing and lacked free oxygen. - **Option B**: "Organic compounds can be synthesized in the laboratory." - While Miller's experiment showed synthesis of organic compounds, it does not imply that they can be synthesized in any laboratory condition, thus this option is misleading. - **Option C**: "Life originated in the form of amino acids." - This is also incorrect; while amino acids were formed, life is believed to have originated from more complex molecules. - **Option D**: "Complex organic molecules were first formed on the primitive earth." - This is the correct statement as Miller's experiment supports the notion that complex organic molecules could have formed under the conditions present on the early Earth. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the findings of Miller's experiment, the correct conclusion is that complex organic molecules were first formed on the primitive Earth. ### Final Answer: **The correct answer is: Complex organic molecules were first formed on the primitive earth.** ---
