Answer

To match the scientists with their contributions in the field of evolution, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify Contributions of Charles Darwin**:
- Charles Darwin is known for his book **"The Origin of Species"**, where he discusses natural selection and adaptation.
- **Match**: (i) Charles Darwin → (4) The Origin of Species

2. **Identify Contributions of Lamarck**:
- Lamarck is known for his work **"Philosophic Zoologique"**, where he proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.
- **Match**: (ii) Lamarck → (3) Philosophic Zoologique

3. **Identify Contributions of Hugo De Vries**:
- Hugo De Vries is known for the **"Mutation Theory"**, which he presented after his experiments on the evening primrose (Enothera lamarckiana).
- **Match**: (iii) Hugo De Vries → (1) Mutation theory

4. **Identify Contributions of Ernst Haeckel**:
- Ernst Haeckel is known for the **"Biogenetic law"**, which states that ontogeny (development of the embryo) recapitulates phylogeny (evolutionary history).
- **Match**: (iv) Ernst Haeckel → (5) Biogenetic law

5. **Identify Contributions of August Weismann**:
- August Weismann is known for the **"Germ plasm theory"**, which states that inheritance occurs through germ cells and not somatic cells.
- **Match**: (v) August Weismann → (2) Germ plasm theory

### Final Matches:
- (i) Charles Darwin → (4) The Origin of Species
- (ii) Lamarck → (3) Philosophic Zoologique
- (iii) Hugo De Vries → (1) Mutation theory
- (iv) Ernst Haeckel → (5) Biogenetic law
- (v) August Weismann → (2) Germ plasm theory

### Summary of Matches:
- (i) 4
- (ii) 3
- (iii) 1
- (iv) 5
- (v) 2
