Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A. arrival of fittest
In November 1859, Darwin published his observations and conclusion during his voyage on Beagle ship in the form of book. The full title of his book was on the origin of species by means of Natural Selection. Darwin's theory of natural selection only explains the survival of the fittest but, is unable to explain the arrival of the fittest. Due to the variations some individuals would be better adjusted towards the surroundings than the others. Adaptive modifications are caused through the struggle for existence. According to Darwin, the variations are gradual (continuous) and those which are helpful in the adaptations of an organism towards its surroundings would be passed on to the next generation, while the others disappear.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
