Answer 2

Thank you! The correct explanation for the different beak sizes and shapes in Darwin's finches is that all finch species evolved from a common ancestor. This process, called adaptive radiation, resulted in each species developing traits that were advantageous for their specific ecological niche, including different beak sizes and shapes for different feeding habits.
