What happened to the first major atmosphere to develop on the early Earth, that consisted of hydrogen and helium?
A)   These molecules reacted chemically with the Earth's hot surface and were absorbed into the newly formed rocks.
B)   These molecules were quickly absorbed into the ocean since they have high solubility in water.
C)   These molecules combined chemically with one another to become molecules that were heavy enough for the Earth's gravity to pull them into the surface rocks, where they are now found.
D)   This atmosphere drifted off into space, the Earth's gravity being too weak to hold these light molecules.
