• A. 1$\to$A, 2$\to$B, 3$\to$C
• B. 1$\to$C, 2$\to$B, 3$\to$A
• C. 1$\to$B, 2$\to$C, 3$\to$A

$\bullet$ Charles Darwin proposed 'theory of natural selection'. It states that organisms which are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

$\bullet$ Gregor Mendel proposed the 'law of inheritance'. It consists of law of dominance, law of segregation and of law of independent asortment.

$\bullet$ Jean Lamarck proposed the 'theory of inheritance by acquired characters'. It states that, the characters acquired during the lifetime of an organism are always passed on to the next generation.
