Solution

The correct option is D Discontinuous variation
Mutations are the change that takes place in the organism. There is 2 type of variations the continuous variations that are somatic and non-inheritable and the organism acquire them to increase their adaptability in the environment and the discontinuous that are present in the genetic material and are present in long run.
These discontinuous variation increase and the different species is formed altogether. These are the basis for evolution.
So, the correct option is 'Discontinuous variation'.
