Solution

The correct option is C adaptive radiation
Darwin's finches are a 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. Most Darwin's finches were in South America, however, some flew to Galapagos islands where some variations got selected and gave rise to new species.
