Solution

The correct option is C Australia
Darwin's greatest contribution was descent with modification. He argued that all the species that exist today, as well as the extinct species that existed in the past, arose from earlier ones by a process of gradual divergence (splitting into separate evolutionary pathways), or evolution. The organisms of Australia and South America resembled each other, because they have been cut off from other organisms by big oceans.
