Abiogenesis means that:
Options
A Living organisms could develop from nonliving matter
Correct Answer
B Living things only come from other living things through reproduction
C Reproduction is the only way to life
D Life is a continuous process
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Abiogenesis is the scientific theory that life arose from non-living matter through natural processes. This concept was once widely accepted as spontaneous generation but in modern biology, it refers to the origin of life on Earth from inorganic or inanimate substances.

Hint

Break down the word: 'a-' means not, 'bio-' means life, and 'genesis' means origin. So, 'origin from non-life'.
