The answer is the option (d)
Explanation:
Theory of Natural Selection: Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection suggests that organisms with advantageous variations are favored by nature, enhancing their chances of survival.
Modern Theory of the Origin of Life Abiogenesis: Oparin and Haldane proposed that life gradually originated from inorganic molecules.
Theory of use and disuse of organs: Jean Baptiste de Lamarck argued that organs used continuously improve, and these acquired traits are inherited by offspring.
Continental Drift Theory: Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory explains how continents separate from a single massive landmass.
