The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Darwin's Theory of Evolution**: - Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution, which explains how species change over time through natural selection. This theory emphasizes the role of competition among species as a driving force for evolution. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The question provides several options related to the causes of organic evolution: a) Competition within closely related species b) Reduced feeding efficiency in one species due to the presence of interfering species c) Intra-specific competition d) Inter-specific competition 3. **Defining Key Terms**: - **Intra-specific competition** refers to competition among individuals of the same species. - **Inter-specific competition** refers to competition between individuals of different species, particularly those that are closely related. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - While intra-specific competition is important, Darwin emphasized the significance of inter-specific competition in driving evolution. This is because different species often compete for the same resources, which can lead to adaptations and changes over time. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on Darwin's theory, the correct answer is **d) Inter-specific competition**. This type of competition leads to natural selection and the evolution of species as they adapt to survive and thrive in their environments.
