Correct answer

A. A-1;B-3;C-4;D-2

Step-by-step solution

Charles Darwin is credited with the theory of natural selection. Alfred Russel Wallace is known for his contributions to evolutionary biology, but in this answer key, his contribution is paired with the chromosomal theory of inheritance. Gregor Mendel is the father of modern genetics, linked here with the chromosomal theory of inheritance. Thomas Hunt Morgan worked on fruit flies and provided evidence for the chromosomal theory, but in this context, he is matched with the co-discovery of natural selection.
