Answer

C

Explanation

August Weismann opposed the Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characters He put forward the theory of continuity of germplasm. According to this theory. The characters influencing only the germ cells are inherted. There is a continuity of germplasm (protoplasm of germ cells) but the somatoplasm (protoplasm of somatic cell) is not transmitted to the next generation, therefore, it does not carry characters to next generation.
