Question 1What was Charles Darwin's approach to scientific study?O Darwin followed the scientific method that was well established in his time. This method wastermed determinism and described all natural events as based on physical laws.O Darwin was strictly an observer of natural history.O Darwin kept a careful diary of his travels and experiments but never interpreted any of theresults.Darwin was similar to many other scientists of his era in that he speculated on manytheoretical ideas inherent in the Victorian philosophy of science. Many of these theoreticalideas were not supported by observation or experimentation.O Darwin was an excellent observer, formed hypotheses from his observations andexperimented to support his hypotheses. Darwin also was a theoretical scientist whospeculated on challenging problems in natural history.

The correct answer is - Option (e) - Darwin was an excellent observer, formed hypothesis from his…
