(B) Darwin's finches,observed by Charles Darwin in the Galapagos Islands,are a classic example of adaptive radiation. These birds evolved from a common ancestral species into various forms to exploit different food sources available on the islands. The most significant morphological difference between these species is the shape and size of their beaks,which have adapted to specific diets such as seeds,insects,or nectar. Therefore,they differ from each other primarily based on their beaks.
