D Correct answer
Explanation

Lamarckism is based on the inheritance of acquired characteristics - the idea that traits developed during an organism's lifetime can be passed to offspring. This contrasts with Darwinism (natural selection), Neo-Darwinism (modern synthesis), and Synthetic theory, which do not support Lamarck's mechanism.
