Solution

The correct option is D I, II and IV
Neo-Darwinism, Theory of evolution that represents a synthesis of Charles Darwin's theory in terms of natural selection and modern population genetics. The term was first used after 1896 to describe the theories of August Weismann (18341914), who asserted that his germ-plasm theory made impossible the inheritance of acquired characteristics and supported natural selection as the only major process that would account for biological evolution. A few supporters of neo darwinism are Romanes, Wallace, Fisher, Huxley, Ford, Haldane, Sewall Wright, Ernst Haeckel, August Weismann, Herbert Spencer and Hugo de Vries etc.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
