The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the three statements and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement (i) **Statement:** Some land reptiles went back into water to evolve into fish-like reptiles probable 200 mya. **Analysis:** This statement is true. During the evolutionary history of vertebrates, certain land reptiles did return to aquatic environments and evolved into marine reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs. This event occurred around 200 million years ago, during the Mesozoic era. **Conclusion:** True (T) ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement (ii) **Statement:** The first mammals were like shrews. **Analysis:** This statement is also true. The earliest mammals were indeed small, shrew-like creatures. They were not dominant and were relatively simple in structure compared to modern mammals. **Conclusion:** True (T) ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement (iii) **Statement:** The work of Thomas Malthus on populations influenced Lamarck. **Analysis:** This statement is false. Thomas Malthus published his work on population growth after Lamarck's time. Lamarck's ideas were developed independently and were not influenced by Malthus, who was read by Charles Darwin later on. **Conclusion:** False (F) ### Final Summary of Statements - (i) True (T) - (ii) True (T) - (iii) False (F) ### Correct Option The correct option is that the first two statements are true, and the third statement is false. ---
