Answer: D

Explanation:
Use process of elimination

A and B both talk about weather which would have nothing to do with a birds beak.

C. Finch 1 would be unable to eat a small insect from a small hole due to its large beak.

D. The only choice left and correct because Finch 4 is able to eat small insects that live in tiny hole because of their beak.

Hope this helps!! And let me know if you have any questions about the strategy I used to find the answer.
