Correct answer: A. Struggle for existence
- A. Struggle for existence
- B. Descent with modification
- C. Inheritance of acquired characteristics
- D. Production of more individuals than the environment can support
Explanation
The correct answer is Struggle for existence. This aspect of Darwin's theory is depicted in the diagram by illustrating the competition among organisms for limited resources. Other options, such as 'Descent with modification' and 'Production of more individuals than the environment can support', are relevant to Darwin's theory but do not specifically depict the 'struggle for existence'. 'Inheritance of acquired characteristics' is not part of Darwin's theory but rather a concept proposed by Lamarck.

About Darwinism
Darwinism explains evolution through inherited variation, competition for limited resources, survival and reproduction of better-adapted organisms, and natural selection over generations. It is distinguished from Lamarckism because Darwin's explanation depends on selection acting on existing heritable differences, not the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
