Question

What caused the Galapagos Finch to evolve?

• A. The harsh climatic conditions in the island.
• B. Its old age.
• C. The presence of food in hard-to-reach places.
• D. The observations by Charles Darwin.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The presence of food in hard-to-reach places.

Darwin observed the changes in the beak of the Galapagos Finch and how it evolved over generations to help the bird access the insects in hard-to-reach places. This helped them survive even when food was hard to come by.
