    D)  Development of organs from stem cells for organ transplantation

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to Darwins concept of natural selection, the organisms which are provided with favourable variations would survive because, they are the fittest to face their surrounding while the organisms, which are unfit for surrounding variations are destroyed.
