The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(D): \(NH_{3}\) carbohydrate, protein and nucleic acid
Hydrogen atoms were most numerous and most reactive in primitive atmosphere. First hydrogen atoms combined with all oxygen atoms to form water and leaving no free oxygen. Hydrogen atoms also combined 406 with nitrogen, forming ammonia NH3. So water and ammonia were probably the first compound molecules of primitive earth. Later methane, water and NH3, join to form amino acids which gets converted into proteins while hydrogen bases, sugars and phosphates combine to form nucleic acids.

Evolution:

Over the years there have been changes that happen in the formation or the characteristics of the species and because of which there have been the development of new kinds of species and all this happened through the involvement of the natural process and thus came to be known as the evolution.
