What is the scientific name for the theory of evolution?

The Big Bang Theory
Cell Theory
Abiogenesis
Theory of Natural Selection

The correct answer is: Theory of Natural Selection

The Big Bang Theory explains the origins of the universe and how it expanded. Cell Theory explains the basic unit of all living organisms. Abiogenesis is the theory of how life originated from non-living matter. While all of these theories are important in the scientific community, the Theory of Natural Selection specifically refers to the process by which species change and adapt over time. It was developed by Charles Darwin and is supported by extensive evidence and research. Therefore, it is the scientific name for the theory of evolution.
