The theory of new creation was composed by:
Correct answer: C. Louis Agassiz
- A. George Cuvier
- B. James Hustion
- C. Louis Agassiz
- D. Alfred Russel Wallace
Explanation
Louis Agassiz was known for opposing Darwin's theory of evolution and believed that new species were created through divine intervention, a viewpoint that is consistent with the theory of new creation. George Cuvier, while a pioneering paleontologist, focused on catastrophism rather than new creation. James Hustion does not have a notable connection to this theory, and Alfred Russel Wallace was a co-developer of the theory of natural selection, making him an unlikely proponent of new creation.

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.
