The mixture wasexposed to ultraviolet radiation. The results of this experiment were that no amino acids or DNAwas formed, but complex organic molecules were observed. The purpose of this experiment wasto determine whether:

A) DNA could form from amino acids.
B) DNA could form from ultraviolet radiation.
C) ultraviolet radiation could create amino acids.
D) amino acids could form in the harsh vacuum of outer space.
