The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Primitive Atmosphere**: The primitive atmosphere refers to the conditions present on Earth before the origin of life. It was characterized by harsh conditions and a lack of oxygen. 2. **Identifying the Components**: The key components of the primitive atmosphere included gases that were prevalent during that time. These gases were primarily reducing in nature. 3. **Key Gases Present**: The gases that were present in the primitive atmosphere included: - Hydrogen (H₂) - Ammonia (NH₃) - Methane (CH₄) - Water vapor (H₂O) 4. **Exclusion of Oxygen**: It is important to note that oxygen (O₂) was not present in the primitive atmosphere. This is a critical point because the environment was reducing, meaning it lacked free oxygen. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the primitive atmosphere was made up of a mixture of hydrogen, ammonia, methane, and water vapor. Therefore, the correct answer is the combination of these gases. **Final Answer**: The primitive atmosphere was made up of a mixture of hydrogen, ammonia, methane, and water vapor. ---
