Choose the correct combination:
Correct answer: D. Both Darwin-survival of the fittest and Lamark-acquired transmission
- A. Darwin-survival of the fittest
- B. Darwin-no extinction
- C. Lamarck-acquired transmission
- D. Both Darwin-survival of the fittest and Lamark-acquired transmission
Explanation
Charles Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection and survival of the fittest, stating that organisms that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Lamarck's theory of acquired transmission suggested that changes that occur during an organism's lifetime can be passed down to its offspring. Therefore, option D is correct.

About Concept of Evolution
Evolution is the heritable change in populations over generations, driven by mutation, recombination, natural selection, genetic drift and reproductive isolation. Questions examine variation, adaptation, survival and reproduction, speciation, fossil and anatomical evidence, and the difference between individual acclimatization and evolutionary change in a population.
