Vedclass · Answer

(D) Charles $Darwin$ observed a variety of small black birds in the Galapagos Islands,now known as $Darwin's$ finches. He realized that many varieties of finches existed on the same island. All the varieties,he conjectured,evolved on the island itself. From the original seed-eating features,many other forms with altered beaks arose,enabling them to become insectivorous and vegetarian finches. This process of evolution of different species in a given geographical area starting from a point and literally radiating to other areas of geography (habitats) is called adaptive radiation.
