(b) inheritance of acquired characters

Answer 2

Lamarck’s theory of evolution:

• Option “B” is correct i.e. inheritance of acquired characters.

• Lamarck’s theory of evolution is also called the inheritance of acquired characters.

• Lamarck did not initiate the idea of soft inheritance, which suggests that individual struggles during the lifetime of the organisms were the main tool driving species to adaptation, as they allegedly would acquire adaptive changes and pass them on to offspring. Lamarck's theory of evolution is also described as the inheritance of acquired characters.
