C
The creation of mold in a lab
D
A story about the life of a man named “Genesis”
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As mentioned above, the term Biogenesis refers to all living things that come from other living things. This also gave rise to the cell, cell theory and the theories on the origin of life. Many experiments with positive outputs disapproved of the theory of spontaneous generation and finally approved Biogenesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biogenesis is based on the theory that life can only come from life, and it refers to any process by which a lifeform can give rise to other lifeforms. For instance, a chicken laying eggs, which hatch and become baby chicken.

Detailed explanation-3: -A second meaning of biogenesis was given by the French Jesuit priest, scientist and philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to mean the origin of life itself, which is now commonly referred to as abiogenesis, reflecting the secular and commonly more scientific belief that the origin of life was from non-life.
