Solution

The correct option is A Evolution but not Lamarck's theory
During evolution an organism adapts itself to its surrounding, due to which it may make use some of its organs more than the others, as a result certain organs even though present do not develop in comparison to other organs as they are no longer used such organs are called vestigial organs.
This is not related to Lamarkism, as it explains inheritance of acquired characters
So, the correct answer is 'Evolution but not Lamarck's theory'
