Solution

The correct option is D Lyell and Hooke
Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel independently and unknown to one another conceived the same idea of natural selection. On 1 July 1858, Sir Charles Lyell and Dr. Joseph Hooker presented paper to the Linnean Society written by Wallace and Darwin independently on natural selection. Thus, the correct answer is 'Lyell and Hooke.'
