The correct option is A Seed eater

Darwin finches show a variety of beaks suited for eating large seeds, flying insects and cactus seeds but the ancestral stock of Darwin finches were seed eaters who dwelled on land. To meet their nutritional and ecological demands in order to survive better, they developed beaks modified for eating insects, cactus, fruits, etc.

So, the correct answer is 'Seed eater'.
