Solution

The correct option is B Orgel
Error catastrophe is the extinction of an organism as a result of excessive mutations. This theory was put forward by Orgel. The error catastrophe theory of aging states that aging is the result of the accumulation of errors in cellular molecules that are essential for cellular function and reproduction that eventually reaches a catastrophic level that is incompatible with cellular survival.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
