Question

Which among the following sequences was proposed by Darwin for organic evolution?

• A. Overproduction $\to$ Struggle for existence $\to$ Variation $\to$ Survival of the fittest
• B. Overproduction $\to$ Variation $\to$ Struggle for existence $\to$ Survival of the fittest
• C. Survival of the fittest $\to$ Overproduction $\to$ Variation
• D. Variation $\to$ Overproduction $\to$ Survival of the fittest

Answer 1

The correct option is A Overproduction $\to$ Struggle for existence $\to$ Variation $\to$ Survival of the fittest

According to Darwin's theory, overproduction increases the demand for food and space within that location, thereby creating a struggle for existence among the organisms. Those organisms that exhibit a particular variation to fight against the environmental challenges survive and are considered to be the fittest in the population.
