A Student Claims That the Formation of Biologically Relevant Organic

Multiple Choice

A student claims that the formation of biologically relevant organic compounds during prebiotic simulation experiments does not mean that a similar series of events actually occurred on Earth.Which statement best evaluates this claim?

A) The claim is correct because the simulation experiments were conducted in a lab rather than in a natural setting.
B) The claim is correct because the simulation experiments were conducted by humans rather than occurring naturally without human interference.
C) The claim is correct because the simulation experiments may not have accurately simulated the actual conditions present on early Earth.
D) The claim is incorrect because a simulation can faithfully reproduce conditions as a fair test of whether they could or could not occur.
E) The claim is incorrect because simulations carried out under laboratory conditions can accurately mimic conditions found in natural settings.
