The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Microspheres**: Microspheres are small spherical structures that can form under certain conditions and are significant in the study of the origin of life. 2. **Identifying the Scientist**: The question asks who developed microspheres artificially. The key figure associated with this development is Sidney Walter Fox. 3. **Fox's Contribution**: Sidney Walter Fox was a biochemist who focused on the origin of life. He conducted experiments that led to the synthesis of amino acids from inorganic molecules. 4. **Proteinoids**: In his research, Fox discovered that when amino acids are synthesized from inorganic materials using thermal energy, they can form chains known as proteinoids. 5. **Formation of Microspheres**: When these proteinoids are mixed with water, they can form globules. These globules are what we refer to as microspheres. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, microspheres were developed artificially by Sidney Walter Fox. **Final Answer**: Microspheres were developed artificially by Fox. ---
