Question

Michael Stahl · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Darwin and Lamarck would have disagreed on how adaptations occur. Lamarck believed in the inheritance of acquired characteristics, suggesting that individuals change during their lifetime and pass these changes to their offspring. Darwin, on the other hand, proposed natural selection as the mechanism of adaptation, where individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to the next generation.
