The correct answer is (b)The best pair Darwin's contributor to his ideas is Lyell.

Sir Charles Lyell was a great geologist of mid 19th century. This philosophy claims claims that geological and biological causes takes millions of year to happen. Lyell's work formed the foundation of belief that it took millions of years to build a universe. Darwin's concept of gradual evolution was not complete until there was Lyell's theory.
