A glass dish containing a few drops of water in the presence of carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, and small organic compounds is heated by a flame and UV radiation. Which early Earth scenario does this set-up most closely resemble?

Deep sea volcanoes giving off gases, sulfur, and iron to produce organic molecules

Lightning in the early atmosphere, which may have produced the first organic molecules

The replication of RNA near the ocean's surface in the day and night cycling of temperatures

Amino acid formation from organic molecules in ocean water splashing on hot rock, sand,
