The correct answer is option 3: Birds. The term "Darwin finches" refers to a group of birds that were studied by Charles Darwin during his exploration of the Galapagos Islands. Darwin noticed that these birds had different beak shapes and sizes, which allowed them to adapt to different food sources on the islands. This observation played a significant role in shaping Darwin`s theory of evolution by natural selection. The beak variations in the Darwin finches illustrate how species can adapt to their environment over time, leading to the development of new species. Therefore, the correct answer is birds, as the Darwin finches are a group of birds with diverse beak structures that have evolved to suit different feeding habits.
