Solution

The correct option is D Carrion
  • The small black birds found on Galapagos islands, which later came to be known as Darwin's finches were originally adapted with seed-eating features.
  • From these many other forms evolved with altered beaks depending on the food habit. This enabled them to become insectivorous and vegetarian finches. But no species of finch fed on carrion (decaying dead matter).
So, the correct answer is 'Carrion'
