Answer:
The correct answer will be w, x, y.
w- if left unchecked, a population will outgrow its food source.
x- evolution is due to the inheritance of acquired traits
y- natural selection leads to evolution.
Explanation:
In 1798, Thomas Robert Malthus who was an economist proposed a theory on population growth which stated that if the population is not controlled and left unchecked, their number will exceed the availability of resources but will still grow. He influenced Charles Darwin.
In 1809, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck presented his theory of evolution called "inheritance of acquired traits" in his book Philosophie zoologique.
In 1859, Charles Darwin presented his theory of evolution called "evolution by natural selection" in his book Origin of species.
Thus, w, x, y is the correct answer.
