They share common ancestors

Nathanael Ashley · Answer 2

the correct answer will be option B (finches share common ancestors).

Explanation:

Family tree is a visual document showing the family history (ancestors) of an individual resembling shape of a tree with the oldest generations at the top while the newer generations at the bottom.

Darwin's finches is a group of 14 closely related species with different beak shapes and sizes living on Galapagos islands.

Darwin realized that finches showed the mechanism of adaptive radiation in which one species diversified into many species to exploit a wide range of habitats and all finches arose from one common ancestor.

thus, option B is the correct answer.
