A

CH4, H2, NH3 and water vapour at 800°C

B

CH3, H2, NH4 and water vapour at 800°C

C

CH4, H2, NH3 and water vapour at 600°C

D

CH4, H2, NH2 and water vapour at 800°C

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the textbook, in 1953, S.L. Miller created conditions similar to the primitive atmosphere on a laboratory scale.
