Solution

The correct option is A Charles Darwin
The theory of natural selection was proposed by scientist Charles Darwin. According to him, there is constant competition among organisms for their survival. Among these organisms, only the ones that are more competitive can survive. Others get destroyed in the course of time. This is known as the 'survival of the fittest'
So, option A is the correct answer.
