B. reduction in weight of the organisms due to starvation is genetically controlled 

C. low weight parent can have heavyweight progeny 

D. traits which are not inherited over generations do not cause evolution

Reduction in weight of organisms due to starvation is a change in nonreproductive tissues of the organism, and does not change the genes of the germ cells. Thus, it is not genetically controlled.
