Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Hugo de Vries (1848-1935) proposed mutation theory for the formation of new species. He came to conclude this theory while working on Oenothera lamarckiana evening primrose. According to him, new species are not formed by continuous variations but by sudden appearance of variations which he assigned as mutations. He stated that these mutations are heritable and persist in successive generations
