What is the relationship between chemical evolution and evaporation in hot pools at the edges of oceans?
A) Following evaporation, exposure to the atmosphere may have catalyzed chemical reactions.
B) Evaporation may have concentrated monomers to the point of polymerization.
C) Dehydration may have caused RNA molecules to "crinkle" into catalytic three-dimensional shapes.
D) Evaporation may have exposed catalytic silicates on the large surface areas of clays.
E) Evaporation-related loss of oxygen in these pools may have facilitated catalytic activity of metals such as iron and nickel.
