The correct Answer is:
To determine which scientist and their contribution are not matched correctly, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option 1: O'Perrin and Haldane** - Contribution: Most acceptable theory for the origin of life. - Explanation: O'Perrin and Haldane proposed the primordial soup theory, which suggests that life originated from a mixture of organic compounds in the early Earth's oceans, energized by sunlight. This match is correct. 2. **Analyze Option 2: Charles Darwin** - Contribution: Given the most acceptable theory for evolution of life. - Explanation: Charles Darwin is known for his theory of natural selection, which explains how species evolve over time. This match is also correct. 3. **Analyze Option 3: Thomas Malthus** - Contribution: Wrote an essay on population. - Explanation: Thomas Malthus wrote "An Essay on the Principle of Population," where he discussed the effects of population growth. This match is correct as well. 4. **Analyze Option 4: Hugo de Vries** - Contribution: Theory of germplasm. - Explanation: Hugo de Vries is known for his theory of mutation, not the theory of germplasm. The germplasm theory was actually proposed by August Weismann. Therefore, this match is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The scientist and contribution that are not matched correctly is **Option 4: Hugo de Vries with the theory of germplasm**. The correct contribution of Hugo de Vries is the **theory of mutation**. ### Final Answer: **Option 4: Hugo de Vries - Theory of germplasm (incorrect match)** ---
