Solution

The correct option is B Adaptive radiation
Darwin's finches were all evolved from a single variety of bird due to the availability of different variety of food. In order to survive themselves, the birds developed various modifications in their beaks from a single original beak type which means adaptive radiation or adaptation with response to the changing environmental conditions.
So, the correct answer is 'Adaptive radiation'
