Can someone please answer! I looked up this question getting so right answers, I need a smart human please!

Darwin recorded distinct species of finches on different islands in the Galapagos. The images below show two species of finches he observed.

On island X, he saw both species of finches. On island Y, he only saw the finch on the right. Based on these observations, what is the most likely conclusion Darwin would have made?

A.
The finches on island X developed different beaks as they grew, but the finches on island Y kept the same type of beak.
B.
There was a variety of food available on island X, but there were only large seeds and nuts on island Y.
C.
There were frequent environmental changes on island Y, but a relatively stable environment on island X.
D.
The finches on island Y chose to have larger beaks, but the finches on island X chose to have a variety.

I would say B because large beaks are used to crack seeds.

Answer:

The answer is B. There was a variety of food available on island X but there were only large seeds and nuts on island Y.

Explanation:

Darwin studied the flora and fauna of Galapagos island. He found that there were many varieties of small black birds which differed mainly in the shape of beaks and feeding habits. These small birds were later called as Darwin finches. Darwin realized that all these finches evolved on the same island itself and developed different beaks based on feeding habits.

Since on island X there was variety of food available, birds evolved with different beaks, whereas, on island Y only single type of seeds were available giving no chance for any evolution to occur.
