The two prominent figures in evolutionary biology are Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. - Darwin is particularly well-known for his contributions to the theory of natural selection. 3. **Darwin's Theory:** - Charles Darwin proposed that in the struggle for existence, those organisms that are better adapted to their environment (the "fittest") are more likely to survive and reproduce. - This concept is encapsulated in his theory of natural selection, which explains how species evolve over time. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the information, the struggle for existence and survival of the fittest are primarily related to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. 5. **Final Answer:** - The correct answer is **B.
