Solution

The correct option is D Evolution of marsupials
Australian marsupials are an example of adaptive radiation in the process of evolution. All the marsupials evolved from one common ancestral stock within the Australian island continent.

DDT-resistant mosquitoes, antibiotic resistance procured by the bacteria and melanic and non-melanic moths are the results of evolution that happened due to human alteration of the environment.
