Answer 1

The correct option is C

Darwin

Darwin proposed the theory of Natural selection. It stated that a quick outbreak of population creates a fierce competition for food and space, thereby creating a struggle for existence of life. Those organisms that overcome the challenge and manage to survive belong to the fittest category. It is this category that further expands by producing offspring. This process is called natural selection.
