Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The figure shows marsupial radiation in Australia, where a common ancestor gave rise to a variety of marsupials adapted to different habitats and niches (kangaroo, wombat, sugar glider, etc.). This is an example of adaptive radiation, which is a type of divergent evolution, because a single ancestral stock diverged into many different forms.
