The correct answer is A. observations of nature. When evolution was first proposed by Charles Darwin in the mid-19th century, he used observations of nature as evidence to support his idea. Darwin traveled around the world, studying different species and their adaptations to their environments. He observed that species vary in their traits and that these variations can be passed on to offspring. Through his observations, he concluded that these variations, combined with the process of natural selection, could explain the diversity of species we see today. So, when it comes to the evidence that was used to support the idea of evolution, the most significant one was the observations made in nature.
