Solution

The correct option is B H.M.S. Beagle: Alfred Wallace
Charles Darwin travelled in a sail ship called H.M.S. Beagle to Galapagos islands. Based on his observations during the sea voyage, Darwin laid down the Theory of Natural Selection to explain the mechanism of evolution.

Hugo de Vries worked with Oenothera lamarckiana or evening primrose and based on his observations proposed the mutation theory. He explained that evolution can occur in a single generation due to discrete and random mutations in the offspring.

The theory of special creation believes that all forms of life were created by the almighty superpower, God and have not undergone any change since their creation. The greatest supporter of special creation theory was Father Suarez.

Anthropogenic actions refer to human intervention. Anthropogenic actions have resulted in the evolution of certain life forms. For example, excessive and repeated use of herbicides and pesticides have resulted in the development of pesticide-resistant pests. As these resistant varieties survive and reproduce further, an entire population of pesticide-resistant pests is developed over months or years.
