A Correct answer
Explanation

Miller and Urey conducted their famous 1953 experiment simulating early Earth conditions (water, methane, ammonia, hydrogen, electrical sparks) and successfully produced amino acids - the building blocks of life. Oparin had earlier proposed the theoretical primordial soup concept, but Miller-Urey provided the experimental evidence. Lamarck and De Vries worked on different evolutionary mechanisms.
