(b) adaptive radiation
Explanation:
During voyage on the ship M.S. Beagle in 1931, Darwin visited Galopagos Islands of South America and studied the climate and birds of that Island. He studied the finches there, which were called Darwin’s finches. The finches showed differences in their beaks based on their different feeding habits and are examples of natural selection. Darwin’s Finches are good examples of adaptive radiation (also called divergent evolution). Different types of beaks in these Finches show adaptive radiation.
