Question

Data was collected concerning Galapagos bird beak size over time. There are 13 types of Galapagos finches, and they are also known as Darwin's Finches. These finches share the same habits and characteristics except for one; they all have different beaks. The differences in their beaks might be the most important aspect of their survival because beak size determines the type of seed able to be eaten. Only the birds with the largest of beaks are able to eat the toughest, biggest, and spine covered seeds. Based on the data given, choose the BEST conclusion.

A) This data shows that over time the type of food available remained constant.

Eliminate

B) This data shows that the environment did not change over the course of time.

C) This data shows a fluctuation in bird species over time most likely due to food availability.

D) This data shows a fluctuation in bird species over time most likely due to the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
