A. point 1
B. point 2
C. point 3
D. point 4</span>

ANSWER

The correct option is D.

All the options written above about Darwin's theory are quite correct with the exception of option D.

As this continue from generation to generation, it leads to evolution, which is defined as the changes overtime, which give rise to new species that share a common ancestors. Contrary to the point made in option D, evolution by natural selection is not a rapid process at all, it is a process that occur over a long period of time.
