The correct definition of adaptive radiation is:
when an ancestor species rapidly splits into different descendants due to environmental pressures.
Adaptive radiation occurs when a single ancestral species evolves into a wide variety of forms that occupy different ecological niches, typically in response to environmental changes or new habitats.
