Answer

Correct Answer : b ) A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1

Explanation :

Watson & Crick proposed the double-helical structure of DNA for which they were awarded Nobel Prize in 1962.

Gregor Mendel studied how the character transfers from parents to their offsprings. He states that the genes, which are located on the chromosome help in transfers of character from parents to their offsprings.

Charles Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection.

Jean Bapiste de Lamarck came out with an evolutionary theory and proposed that driving force behind this was the inheritance of acquired characters.

So, the correct answer is ‘Option B’.
