Given the following statements about activities in the early earth:
Select the correct statements:
1. Only I, II and III are correct
2. Only I, II and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4. All are correct
| I: | Water vapour, methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia released from molten mass covered the surface. |
| II: | The UV rays from the sun broke up water into Hydrogen and Oxygen and the lighter H2 escaped. |
| III: | Oxygen combined with ammonia and methane to form water, CO2, and other gases. |
| IV: | As it cooled, the water vapour fell as rain, filling all the depressions and forming oceans. |

Oparin of Russia and Haldane of England proposed that:
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
| I: | The first form of life could have come from pre-existing non-living organic molecules (e.g. RNA, protein, etc.) |
| II: | The formation of life was preceded by chemical evolution, i.e., the formation of diverse organic molecules from inorganic constituents. |
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct

For the stability of the organic compounds, Oparin opined that, probably:
| 1. | UV radiation never reached the surface of the primeval Earth |
| 2. | the primeval Earth was in a molten state |
| 3. | the primeval Earth atmosphere was reducing rather than oxidizing |
| 4. | plenty of energy sources were available for chemical reactions to occur |

In 1953, S. L. Miller created primitive earth conditions in the laboratory and gave experimental evidence for the origin of the first form of life from pre-existing non-living organic molecules. The primitive earth conditions created include:
| 1. | low temperature, volcanic storms, an atmosphere rich in oxygen |
| 2. | low temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere |
| 3. | high temperature, volcanic storms, non-reducing atmosphere |
| 4. | high temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere containing CH4, NH3 etc. |
