Answer:

J. the trait for longer necks must exist within the population and be inherited by the offspring

Lamarckism was the theory was given by Lamarck and is based on physical changes. Giraffes would be able to survive when the traits of the long necks are inherited. Thus, option J is correct.

What is inheritance?

Inheritance is the passing of the genetic material down the generation so that the beneficial traits that are essential for survival are passed from one generation to another.

When the trait essential for the giraffes to survive like long necks and legs are passed from one generation to another through reproductive methods then they will be able to survive.

Therefore, option J. trait for the longer neck must pass or be inherited by offspring.
