    Urey and Miller
  • B
    Jacob and Monod
  • C
    Fischer and Huxley
  • D
    Sidney Fox and Oparin

Answer

  1. Sidney Fox and Oparin

Explanation:

Coacervates were non-living colloidal aggregates of proteins and polysaccharides but did not have the ability to reproduce nor they developed a covering membrane of lipids.

Oparin and Sydney Fox held that large organic molecules synthesized abiotically on the primitive earth.

These molecules later came together spontaneously and due to intermolecular attraction formed large colloidal aggregates called coacervates.
