Which of the following is not evidence for evolution?
Correct answer: D. None of these
- A. Fossil record
- B. Vestigial structures
- C. Common ancestor organisms
- D. None of these
Explanation
The correct answer is 'None of these' because all of the listed options are valid evidence for evolution. The fossil record shows the gradual changes in species over time. Vestigial structures indicate features that were functional in ancestors but are no longer essential. The existence of common ancestors explains the shared traits among different species. Therefore, none of these options fails to be evidence for evolution.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
