Solution

The correct option is B changes to an organisms body can be passed to the next generation
According to pangenesis each part of the body continually emit its own type of small organic particles called gemmules that aggregate in the gonads and acts as information in the gametes.
So, the correct option is 'changes to the body of an organism can be passed to the next generation'.
