Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Darwin drew on information from geology, which helped him understand the age and changes of the Earth; paleontology, which provided evidence of past life forms; taxonomy and systematics, which helped him understand the diversity and relationships among living organisms; demography, which provided insights into population growth and competition; and evolutionary biology, which was the foundation for his theory of evolution by natural selection. Therefore, option D, which includes all these five disciplines, is the best choice.
