Solution

The correct option is C Australian marsupials
The process of evolution when members of a species in a particular area move out to new geographical locations and develop adaptations to survive in the new habitat resulting in transformation into new species with significant change from the ancestral species. Darwin's finches and Australian marsupials are the best examples of this phenomenon.

Human arms and wings of bird; thorn and tendrils are examples of homologous organs.
