Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct matching of scientists to their respective fields is as follows: J.D. Watson is synonymous with Molecular Biology, having co-discovered the DNA double helix structure, which laid the foundation for modern molecular studies. Louis Pasteur is the father of Microbiology, renowned for his work on pasteurization and germ theory. Carl Linnaeus is the founder of modern Taxonomy, having established the binomial nomenclature system and a hierarchical classification for the natural world [3]. Charles Darwin is the pioneer of the theory of Evolution, specifically through his mechanism of natural selection as detailed in 'On the Origin of Species' [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4, which corresponds to option 3.
