The correct answer is B.

The Galapagos finches show many different characteristic beaks suited for their environment and food supply. Some have beaks specialized for crunching berries and nuts, while others icing in a different area have long beaks for getting bugs out of thin cracks in rocks near the water. The finches started with one species and over time adapted to their surrounding in different areas of the Galapagos island. Because of the diversity in the finches, they are a common example when describing adaptation.

I hope this helps!
