Answer

Hi, the correct answer option is C. It doesn't provide evidence of the formation of amino acids

Explanation

The Miller-Urey experiment was determined to show that life could arise spontaneously from non-living molecules. This was called chemical evolution or abiogenesis. The challenges in this experiment were; To produce non-fiction amino acid and proteins the experiment was to be highly controlled which destroyed the proteins. Cross-reaction process applied interfered with amino acid production. In addition, sugar which a vital compound for life affected amino acid synthesis. The experiments further produced other toxic compounds such as cyanide that were difficult to identify during the research.

All the Best!
