Explanation of 1st and 2nd answer?

Official Explanation

2. The primary purpose of the passage is to show how

Explanation

As always, begin by examining the passage’s topic and scope, the latter of which is the subject of this question. The passage discusses how evolutionary theory rejects the notion of Teleology, instead demonstrating the development of species through the process of natural selection.

(A) and (B) both are part of the description of how evolutionary theory describes the biological history of the world, but neither is the overall scope of the passage.

(C) states that natural selection, a key part of evolutionary theory, obviates the need for Teleology—which is the focus (that is, the scope) of the passage.

(D) is an end result but not the overall main argument and thus is incorrect.

(E) suggests that teleology and Teleology are nearly equivalent, which, according to the passage, is incorrect.
