Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The evolution of human species in which one species transformed into another species evolves by a mechanism known as anagenesis.

Anagenesis is the mechanism of evolution which transform one species into a different species within a lineage. This process is slow and takes time to form species, therefore, is also known as gradualism or phyletic transformation.

The<em> Homo sapiens</em> evolved from<em> Homo erectus </em>where<em> Homo sapiens </em>overwrites the ancestral species and caused the species to become  extinct.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Use Darwin's theory of natural selection to explain how the elephant's trunk evolved
schepotkina [342]
An elephant's trunk evolved in order to be able to stuff in and eat as much food as it can to become the big animal it is today.
The elephant's ancestors were small and had a short nose. As it turns out, the larger body size the elephant has, the more chance it gets to survive and pass on its genes to the next generation. In order to gain a larger size, it needed to eat more and be able to reach more food. Of course, its small nose wasn't capable of doing that at the time. So, through natural selection, eventually the elephants that were bigger, had longer trunks, and therefore ate more, were more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation than their smaller counterparts, and therefore with each generation elephants got longer trunks.
