उत्तर

According to Lamarck, a giraffe has a long neck because its ancestors stretched their necks to get food.

Explanation:

According to Lamarck’s theory of acquired inheritance, a giraffe has a long neck because its ancestors stretched their necks to reach leaves on tall trees, and these acquired changes were passed on to their offspring. This contrasts with Darwin’s theory, which emphasizes natural selection acting on variation in populations.
