The correct option is D De Vries
Mutation theory of evolution was proposed by Hugo De Vries. According to him, new species are not formed by continuous variations but by sudden appearance of variations which he named as mutations. Hugo de Vries stated that mutations are heritable and persist in successive generations. He conducted his experiments on Oenothera Lamarckiana, (evening primrose) and found several aberrant types.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
