Answer 1

Hint: Charles Darwin was a biologist and naturalist. He was best known for his contribution to the science of evolution. Charles Darwin used a ship to sail to Galapagos island. A large number of endemic species are seen in the Galapagos Islands.

Complete answer:
A large number of endemic species on the Galapagos islands were studied by Charles Darwin during the second voyage of HMS Beagle in the early 1830s. Charles Darwin used this ship to travel around the world for the purpose of research and geology. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The HMS Beagle was used by Charles Darwin to travel to the Galapagos island in order to study and observe the endemic species in that area. Charles Darwin noticed amazing variations in the pattern of the beak of finches. These finches emerged but were radiated out to the other from one geographic area. Galapagos finches are known as Darwin’s finches popularly and are a group of about passerine birds of fifteen different species. They are often classified as the Geospizinae subfamily. It is still not clear about the bird family to which the passerine birds belong. Passerine birds are one of the endemic species which were found by Darwin in the Galapagos Islands.
So, option A is the correct option.

Note: Charles Darwin published a book named ‘ The Voyage of the Beagle’ in the year 1839. Charles Darwin supported the fact that variations occur along with time. The Galapagos Islands consist of 18 main islands of which one of them is named Darwin island.
