Answer 1

The correct option is D Tusks of elephants

Darwinism or the theory of natural selection was proposed by Darwin and A.R. Wallace. Although Darwinism had many characteristic features, some drawbacks were there too:

• Development of vestigial organs.
• No satisfactory explanation for a cause, origin and inheritance of variation.
• A population in a few individuals develop useful variation and others have harmful variations.
• Differentiation in somatic and germinal variations.

So, the correct option is 'Tusks of elephants'.
