Question

what question did charles darwin attempt to answer?
a. are an offsprings traits similar to those of its parents?
b. where is genetic material stored in the cell?
c. why do different organisms live in different places?
d. how many offspring can an organism have?

Explanation:

Darwin's work focused on evolution and adaptation. He explored why organisms are distributed as they are (related to natural selection and adaptation to environments). Option A was known before Darwin (basic inheritance observation). Option B (genetic material storage) was discovered later (e.g., Mendel's work on genetics, discovery of DNA structure). Option D (number of offspring) is more about reproductive strategies but not Darwin's main focus. His key was on how organisms adapt to their habitats (related to why they live where they do).

Answer:

C. Why do different organisms live in different places?
