Solution

The correct option is A I, II and III are correct.
The outcome of evolutionary process is the adaptation of an organism to its environment, because by the evolution process, organisms are changing in such a way to adapt to its environment for better survival.
Evolution is a process that results in heritable changes in a population spread over many generations. So, evolution is the property of population and not of individuals.
Natural selection is the gradual process by which heritable biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment. It is a key mechanism of evolution.
August Weismann main contribution was the germ plasm theory, at one time also known as 'Weismannism' according to which inheritance only takes place by means of the germ cells, the gametes such as egg cells and sperm cells.
