Solution

The correct option is C Charles Darwin
The theory of evolution shows that the various types of plants, animals, and other living things on Earth have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. The theory was formulated by Charles Darwin in the 19th cent. He was a English naturalist whose scientific theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies.
