The answers are C and E.
Blank (i): "Repudiates" suggests a rejection or contradiction of the Darwinian notion, indicating that epigenetics challenges or contradicts the idea that gene mutations and natural selection solely drive evolution.
Blank (ii): "Immutable" describes something that is unchangeable or unaffected by external factors. In this context, it refers to genes that are not impacted or altered by environmental factors, which contradicts the claim made by Darwin.
