The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the early Greek philosophers' belief about the transfer of life from planet to planet in the form of units, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the concept held by early Greek philosophers regarding the transfer of life between planets. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Spores - B) Sperms - C) Pangenes - D) Protobiont 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Spores**: Early Greek philosophers believed in the idea of panspermia, which suggests that life can spread through spores or similar units from one planet to another. - **Sperms**: These are reproductive cells and are not related to the concept of life transfer between planets. - **Pangenes**: This term is associated with Darwin's theory of heredity and does not pertain to the transfer of life between planets. - **Protobiont**: This refers to the early forms of life or aggregates of organic compounds, but it does not specifically relate to the idea of life transferring between planets. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **A) Spores**, as they align with the concept of panspermia proposed by early Greek philosophers. ### Final Answer: According to some early Greek philosophers, life can transfer from planet to planet in the form of units called **Spores**. ---
