a. A fossil shows an extinct animal similar to a modern animal.

b. A comparison of similar bones in the legs of a human, a dog, and a bat.

2) Charles Darwin studied the finches of the Galápagos Islands and found that their beaks vary in shape and size.

Darwin found that the finches that ate mostly insects had long, narrow beaks. Finches that ate mostly seeds had shorter broad beaks to crush seeds. Which statement below describes how natural selection resulted in the four types of finches shown above?

a. The residents of Galápagos Islands selectively bred together finches having the traits they wanted them to have.

b. The narrow-beaked finches came first and evolved into the broad-beaked finches through a series of natural mutations.

c. The broad-beaked finches wore down their beaks digging for insects and passed these narrow beaks on to their offspring.

d. Over time, the finches that were born with beaks better suited to the available food suply in their habitats survived and reproduced.
