The statement that does not align with the theories developed prior to Charles Darwin's ideas concerning evolution is:
**B. the DNA differences within a species lead to some individuals being better able to survive.**
Prior to Darwin, the understanding of heredity and genetics was not advanced enough to discuss DNA differences, as the concept of DNA itself was not established until the 20th century. The other options reflect theories and beliefs that were more prevalent prior to Darwin's work.
