Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Charles Darwin is known for his theory of evolution which states that species changes over time and the force which leads to the change is called natural selection.

He was the first naturalist who gave the concept about how the earth has the biodiversity of species.

Before him, the scholars, philosophers and thinkers thought that the species do not change with time rather they are permanent and has remained the same throughout the history of life on Earth.

The Carolus Linnaeus, Father of taxonomy who lived in the 18th century also believed in the same idea that all plants and animals were originated in the same form as they are today.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Answer:

a. That species were permanent and unchanging

Explanation:

The pre-Darwinian ideas about evolution were dominated by the "permanent nature of species". For example, the biologist Carl Linnaeus thought that each species was a special creation of God. He also thought that these heavenly forms were permanent and unchanging. Likewise, Aristotle believed in the unchanging nature of species. Aristotle had taught that every species is permanent and unchanging. Aristotle thought of organisms as being imperfect and arranged them on a scale of nature “moving toward a more perfect state.

strojnjashka [21]
If you were to cross a large redwood tree, like for an example a sequoia, from the middle of the trunk you would first cross the annual rings, indicators of the trunk growth over the years, then after that you would cross the phloem, the ''piping'' of the tree responsible for the transport of water throughout the tree and in the end you would cross the tree's bark, the protective layer on surface of the trunk.

Archaea is a single-celled microorganism with no nucleus

Bacteria is a unicellular microorganism with cell walls but lack organelles

Sarcodina is a phylum with temporary extensions of the cell. They can be parasitic.

Protista is an eukaryotic organisms that is not an animal, plant, or fungus.

The organism found is unicellular (rules out Archaea), with cell walls (characteristics of bacteria), and the ability to produce spores.

I believe that Bacteria (B) is your best answer

hope this helps
