In the Miller-Urey experiment, which of the following was synthesized?
A. Living cells
B. Amino acids
C. Complex proteins
D. Nucleic acids

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Miller-Urey experiment (1953) simulated the conditions of the primitive Earth's atmosphere (methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor) in a closed system and applied electrical sparks to simulate lightning. After a week, they found that several organic compounds, including amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), had been synthesized, supporting the theory of chemical evolution.
