Answer;

C) Did early life arise spontaneously or did it come from space?

Step-by-step explanation;

-Many theories of the origin of life have been proposed, but since it's hard to prove or disprove them, no fully accepted theory exists.

-The answer to this question (Did early life arise spontaneously or did it come from space?) would not only fill one of the largest gaps in scientists' understanding of nature, but also would have important implications for the likelihood of finding life elsewhere in the universe.
