Answer:

C

Explanation:Normally, reducing food supplies would favor animals with smaller bodies because they don't need as much food to survive. On the Galapagos Islands, however, only large seeds are available during the drought. Small-beaked finches are not able to access this food supply, so they are more likely to starve. Many of the large-beaked finches are likely to die as well, but some will be able to live on a hard-seed diet. As these finches survive and produce offspring, the average beak depth increases.
