The most likely explanation for the change from fins on lobe-finned fish to legs and feet on early amphibians is:
variations among offspring, followed by natural selection.
This reflects the process of evolution, where gradual changes over time lead to adaptations that better suit organisms to their environments. Variations in traits are selected for or against based on the advantages they provide, leading to significant changes in species over generations.
