- Industrial melanism
- Connecting link
- Adaptive radiation
- Convergent evolution
The correct answer is: Adaptive radiation
Darwin’s finches are good example of adaptive radiation.It is an evolutionary process starting from a point in a geographical area, giving rise to new species depending upon habitat. Main Darwin’s finch was in South America, some flew to Galapagos islands and same variations got selected and gave rise to new species.
