Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of life forms on earth. Darwin undertook a voyersed on the ship a HMS Beagle. The ship traversed the southern hemisphere where life is most abundant and varied.
Along the way, Drawing found different forms of life very different from those in England. As he sailed southward along the south America, he found that similar species replaced each other. He thought that related species could have been modified according the enviroment.
His views got confirmed on Galapagos islands (small group of Volcanic island of the Western coasts of South America). Drawin found different modified form mainland finches as a result of the natural selection.
