Solution

The correct option is B West coast of South America
The Galapagos islands are known for their large number of endemic species and were studied by Charles Darwin during the second voyage of HMS Beagle. His observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. The islands are located in the eastern Pacific Ocean, near the west coast of South America.
So, the correct option is 'West coast of South America'.
