Evaluating Earth Origin Theories and Propounders

The question asks to identify correctly matched pairs of theories about the origin of the Earth and their respective propounders.

Analysis of Theory Matches

  • Gaseous Hypothesis: This theory was proposed by Immanuel Kant in 1755. The match with Kant is correct.
  • Binary Star Hypothesis: This hypothesis, focusing on the formation of planetary systems, is often associated with contributions from Russell, Moulton, and Chamberlin. The match with Russell is considered correct in this context.
  • Planetesimal Hypothesis: This theory was developed by Thomas Chamberlin and Forest Moulton. The match with Chamberlin is correct.

Conclusion

Since all three pairs (Gaseous Hypothesis - Kant, Binary Star Hypothesis - Russell, and Planetesimal Hypothesis - Chamberlin) are correctly matched, the correct option includes all three.

Therefore, the option indicating that 1, 2, and 3 are all correctly matched is the correct answer.
