Solution

The correct option is D Darwin and Wallace
The most important theory of general biology is the theory of evolution by natural selection. In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744 – 1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution. In 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory, explained in detail in Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859).
So, the correct answer is 'Darwin and Wallace'
