Answer:

C. Synthesis of organic molecules

Explanation:

According to chemical evolution theory, life originated from inorganic molecules by the mode of chemical evolution. In primitive conditions of earth, only inorganic molecules were present. These molecules reacted under lightning, UV radiation and other environmental conditions to give rise to complex organic molecules like amino acids, sugars, lipids etc. They formed the basis for proteins, RNA and other molecules which ultimately led to the formation of cellular structures.

What is mostly likely elevation of the mountain below
solniwko [45]
From the contour line that is a combination of two line segments that connect but do not intersect, 500 and 750 represent elevation on the topographic map. There are 5 contour lines in between the given elevations 500 and 750, therefore, the contour interval is 50. Since the peak of the mountain is 2 contour lines from 750, the elevation of the mountain is 850. Hence, the answer is 871 meters.
