  2. Coacervates
  3. Liposomes
  4. Protocells
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Coacervates

Oparin's **coacervates** are colloidal aggregates of hydrophobic proteins and lipids — droplets that could grow, divide, and concentrate molecules. Sidney Fox proposed similar **microspheres** (proteinoid aggregates). Both prefigure protocells.
