The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Lamarckism**: Lamarckism is a theory of evolution proposed by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, which suggests that organisms can pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring. This theory emphasizes the role of use and disuse of organs. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Human females are not born with a bored ear Pina, although they have bored for thousands of years." - This statement suggests that the practice of ear piercing (bored ear Pina) does not get inherited. According to Lamarckism, traits acquired during an individual's lifetime should be passed down to the next generation, which this statement contradicts. Hence, it raises suspicions against Lamarckism. - **Option 2**: "Giraffe has long neck to eat leaves of tall trees." - This statement aligns with Lamarckism, as it implies that giraffes developed long necks due to the need to reach higher leaves. This is an example of use leading to the development of a trait, which is a core idea of Lamarckism. - **Option 3**: "A Stag can run fast to protect against the enemy." - Similar to the giraffe example, this statement suggests that the ability to run fast is developed through use (in this case, to escape predators). This also supports Lamarckism, as it indicates that traits can develop based on the needs of the organism. - **Option 4**: "None of them." - This option suggests that none of the previous statements contradict Lamarckism, which is incorrect since the first statement does. 3. **Conclusion**: The first statement develops suspicions against Lamarckism because it shows that acquired traits (like ear piercing) are not inherited, contradicting Lamarck's theory. **Final Answer**: The fact that develops suspicions in Lamarckism is: "Human females are not born with a bored ear Pina, although they have bored for thousands of years." ---
