The correct Answer is:
D
Lamarck believed in direct influence of environment on the individual. Lamarckian postulate of use and disuse of organs is supported by rudimentary eyes of cave dwellers, webbed feet of swimming bird, elongated limbless body of snake, vestigial organs of living animals, etc. Biston betularia (peppered moth) shows industrial melanism and demonstrates natural selection.
