Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The theory of evolution, as proposed by Charles Darwin and others, suggests that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Among the key tenets of this theory is the idea that humans and great apes (such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans) share a common ancestor, indicating a divergent evolutionary path from a shared lineage. This is supported by a wealth of scientific evidence, including fossil records and genetic data.
