• A. $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(iv\right),C-\left(i\right),D-\left(ii\right)$
• B. $A-\left(iv\right),B-\left(iii\right),C-\left(ii\right),D-\left(i\right)$
• C. $A-\left(ii\right),B-\left(iii\right),C-\left(i\right),D-\left(iv\right)$
• D. $A-\left(i\right),B-\left(iv\right),C-\left(iii\right),D-\left(ii\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(iv\right),C-\left(i\right),D-\left(ii\right)$

De Vries proposed the theory of Saltation ( sudden large scale mutation ). Oparin and Haldane believed that the formation of life was preceded by chemical evolution.

Darwin used the word 'reproductive fitness' which means those organisms who are better fit in their environment produce more number of off springs.

Louis Pasteur proved that Life comes from pre-existing life.

So, the correct answer is 'A-(iii), B-(iv), C-(I), D-(ii)
