Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Darwin's theory emphasizes natural selection as a process that occurs over generations (i). Giraffes elongated their necks to reach leaves, which is a misconception that acquired traits are inherited (ii), but the correct pairing is (i). The essence of natural selection is often summarized by the phrase 'survival of the fittest' (iii). Convergent evolution refers to similar adaptations in different species (iv).
