(D) The figure illustrates the concept of adaptive radiation,specifically referring to Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands. Adaptive radiation is the process of evolution of different species in a given geographical area starting from a point and literally radiating to other areas of geography (habitats). Darwin observed that there were many varieties of finches in the same island. All the varieties,he conjectured,evolved on the island itself. From the original seed-eating features,many other forms with altered beaks arose,enabling them to become insectivorous and vegetarian finches. Thus,the figure shows adaptive radiation,diversity in beaks,and represents Darwin's finches. Therefore,all the given options are correct.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(a)$ Anteater	$(i)$ Marsupial mouse
$(b)$ Mouse	$(ii)$ Spotted cuscus
$(c)$ Mole	$(iii)$ Marsupial mole
$(d)$ Lemur	$(iv)$ Numbat

Select the correct option based on the given figure.
