Solution

The correct option is C Oenothera lamarckiana
De Vries discovered new forms among a display of the evening primrose (Oenothera lamarckiana) growing wild in an abandoned potato field. Taking seeds from these, he found that they produced many new varieties in his experimental gardens; he introduced the term mutations for these suddenly appearing variations.
So, the correct answer is 'Oenothera lamarckiana'.
