Mutation Theory

Q. Match the evolutionary concepts listed under column I with the names of the scientists given under column II and select the right answer:
$\begin{array}{cccc}& ColumnI& & ColumnII\\ & Evolutionaryconcepts& & Namesofthescientists\\ A& Lawsofheredity& p& Wallace\\ B& Synthetictheory& q& Mendel\\ C& Mutationtheory& r& J.B.S.Haldane\\ D& TheoryofNaturalSelection& s& HugodeVries\\ & & t& Darwin\end{array}$

1. A = q, B = r, C = s, D = t
2. A = q, B = r, C = s, D = p
3. A = p, B = r, C = s, D = t
4. A = t, B = r, C = s, D = p
