Answer:

Option B, The combination of organic compounds in warm salty water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primordial soup also known as prebiotic broth is actually a hypothetical term that is used to represent the climatic and geophysical conditions prevailing some 4 billion years ago.

This theory states that the life originated in some water body (that can be a pond or ocean) as a result of various combinations between the chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy to produce amino acid which then led to the evolution of species.

Hence, option B is correct
