Answer 1

Answer: (A)

According to Oparin's hypothesis, early protocell could have been a coacervate. Such a structure could have consisted of a collection of organic macromolecules surrounded by a film of water molecules. This arrangement of water molecules, although not a membrane, could have functioned as a physical barrier between the organic molecules and their surroundings
