Answered by bendog | 2024-06-10

The correct answer is C. Jean Baptiste Lamarck, who was one of the first to propose that species could change over time through his theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics. This idea, though later discredited, was significant in the development of evolutionary thought. Charles Darwin would later expand upon these ideas with the concept of natural selection.
