The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the drawbacks of Darwin's theory, we need to analyze each option provided and determine which one is not a drawback according to Darwin's theory. ### Step 1: Understand the Drawbacks 1. **Survival of the fittest vs. arrival of the fittest**: This is a recognized drawback. Darwin's theory explains how the fittest survive but does not explain how they came to be fit in the first place. 2. **Development of vestigial organs**: This is also a recognized drawback. Darwin did not provide an explanation for the existence and evolution of vestigial organs, such as the appendix. 3. **Over-specialization in organisms**: This is another recognized drawback. Darwin's theory does not adequately explain why certain organisms, like elephants with tusks, have become over-specialized. 4. **Cause of struggle for existence**: This is where the misunderstanding lies. Darwin's theory does explain the struggle for existence and how organisms must compete to survive and reproduce. ### Step 2: Identify the Correct Answer From the analysis above, the only statement that is not a drawback of Darwin's theory is the fourth one, which states that Darwin's theory does not explain the cause of struggle for existence. In fact, Darwin's theory does address this aspect. ### Conclusion Thus, the correct answer to the question "All of the following are drawbacks of Darwin's theory except" is the fourth option.
