[B] Methane, ozone, nitrogen and water
[C] Hydrogen, nitrogen, methane and water
[D] Ammonia, methane, hydrogen and water
Question No:3
Which of the following is a true statement?
[A] The primitive atmosphere had 20% oxygen, just like it is today.
[B] The reducing primitive atmosphere contributed to the origin of life, and the oxidizing one today would hinder it
