From his experiments, S.L. Miller produced amino acids by mixing the following in a closed flask:
A $CH_3$, $H_2$, $NH_4$ and water vapor at $800^\circ C$
B $CH_4$, $H_2$, $NH_3$ and water vapor at $600^\circ C$
C $CH_3$, $H_2$, $NH_3$ and water vapor at $600^\circ C$
D $CH_4$, $H_2$, $NH_3$ and water vapor at $800^\circ C$

Detailed Solution

In 1953, S.L. Miller created electric discharge in a closed flask containing $CH_4$, $H_2$, $NH_3$ and water vapour at 800 °C, and observed the formation of amino acids.
