Which of the following situations best shows Darwin’s theory of natural selection as a mechanism for evolution?


A. The long neck of a giraffe is the result of its ancestor continually reaching for higher branches.


B. The ancestor of the snake had its legs bitten off by a predator, thus all of its offspring had no legs.


C. A long, thin-beaked bird can reach nectar in a flower that other birds cannot, so it survives and breeds offspring that also have long, thin beaks.
