Hi!


The correct option is B.


Explanation

Evolution is a biological phenomena which descries how the heritable characteristics of a species change over successive generations. These characteristics change as a result of a mutation, natural selection or genetic recombination (to list a few).

Darwin's theory of evolution explained how this phenomena occurs with respect to natural selection. The theory goes on to explain how a species diverges from a common ancestor into two or more different species (meaning different species may have common ancestor). This is a slow process as it can take thousands of years.


Hope this helps!
