Answer

Brief Explanations:

Lamarck proposed the inheritance of acquired characteristics, believing changes in an individual during its lifetime could be passed to offspring. Darwin's theory was based on natural - selection acting on pre - existing variations in a population. Lamarck also believed in environmental pressures driving evolution, but this was not the main divergence. Lamarck did not have the view in option C and he did believe species could change over time.

Answer:
