D. evidence that are acquired through use or disuse. Since it is believed that some parts of an organism developed through its need. For example a giraffe got its long neck becuase of reaching for a tree that could produce its food. Another example is the leg of a human which developed because of its need to walk. It was believed that the parts of the an organism did exist or did vanish depending if it was no longer used or it was necessarily needed to survive.

Charles Darwin viewed the fossil record as evidence that traits are acquired through use or disuse.


Further Explanation:

Darwin purposed a theory of evolution in which the species can give rise to a new species within a very short span by an evolutionary jump. Sudden changes seen in fossils developed due to changes in the geological record. It is suggested that some organ or parts of a particular organism can develop or transform by its requirements in daily life.


A very common example of this is that a giraffe get its long neck because of reaching to the tree that give or provide its food. Another example is the leg of a human which developed because of it requirement in walking. It was believed that the parts of the organism did exist or did disappear depends on it used or it was necessarily needed to survive.
