Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

As we can see in the figure,  three species of the finches in circle lie on the same main branch as three sub branches. This is an example of speciation caused by interbreeding of species which led to removal  of deleterious genes and then caused emergence of three species adaptable to the existing environmental conditions.

Hence, option B is correct
