Solution
The correct option is B August Weismann
August Weismann performed the mutilation experiments on rats. He cut the tails of male and female rats and allowed them to breed. All the offsprings had normal tails. He repeated this experiment for 21 generations of rats. He found that all the newborn rats had normal tails. Thus he disproved Lamarck's idea of acquired characters being transmitted to future generations.
