The correct option is A Lamarck
Lamarck, a French Biologist, believed that new characters are acquired by the living beings either due to use and disuse or by the effect of the environment.
The changes in the environment of an organism creates new needs in behaviour or structure in the organism that would help it to adapt better to the changing environment. This leads to the development of new habits which involve the greater use of some organs keeping it functional while disuse of certain organs leads to their size reduction and loss of functionality.
