Which of the following is an inference of Darwin’s theory of evolution?
(a) Natural Selection
(b) Variation
(c) Prodigality of reproduction
(d) Food and Space is constant
(a) Natural Selection.
Explanation:
Darwin’s theory of evolution is primarily known as the Theory of Natural Selection. It states that nature selects individuals with favorable variations, allowing them to survive and reproduce, while those lacking such traits are eliminated. This leads to the origin of new species and is the main inference drawn by Darwin after his observations of competition, struggle for existence, and survival of the fittest. Other options like variation and prodigality of reproduction are observations or concepts within the broader theory, but ‘Natural Selection’ is its core inference.
