The observation that would best support the idea that increased competition causes changes in a species is:
A population of deer show an increase in antler size over time, which allows them to obtain more mates during mating season.
This observation indicates that competition (in this case, for mates) drives a change (increase in antler size) within the population, aligning well with Darwin's ideas of natural selection and descent with modification.
