(i) Hugo de Vries - mutations are sudden changes
(ii) Lamarck - nature selects organisms with favourable variations known as natural selection

• A. (i), (iv)
• B. (ii), (iv)
• C. (iii), (iv)
• D. (ii), (i)

Answer 1

The correct option is B (ii), (iv)

Darwin stated the theory of natural selection. He said that nature will select organisms which develop favourable variations. Lamarck on the other hand proposed the theory of use and disuse of organs which states that if we make more use of a particular organ, it will become stronger and better, while those that are least used will eventually degenerate.
