Solution
The correct option is B Darwin
- Darwin explained the theory of evolution by means of natural selection.
- Natural selection is the mechanism by which new species arise from pre-existing ones. Natural selection states that there is 'struggle for existence' within a population and variation exists within all population.
- The continuous competition between individuals for environmental resources creates a 'struggle for existence' and this struggle makes sure that certain organisms would fail to survive or reproduce.
- This would eliminate less suited organisms and better-adapted organisms would survive and pass on their traits to the next generation leading to evolution.
