Solution

The correct option is C Three
Darwin’s finches of Galapagos Islands are examples of adaptive radiation, founder effect and natural selection.
Darwin finches were small black birds which differed mainly in the shape of beaks and feeding habits. They evolved from the original seed-eating ancestor bird which was present in South America.
