A. Natural Selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is "the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution."

- Oxford Languages Definition

The deep beak finches were better adapted to their environment so this process would be known as Natural Selection.

Good Luck!

Ricardo would swim a farther distance in 1 hour. By taking the number of miles he swam and in the fraction of the hour, you can find the answer.

Divide 5 1/4 by 3 because it took 3/5 of an hour to swim that far. That would lead to 1 3/4 for 1/5 of an hour. Now that we know this, we can multiply 1 3/4 to 5 to get how much he would swim in 1 hour which is 8  3/4

Divide 4 1/2 by 5 because it took 5/9 of an hour to swim that far. That would lead to 9/10 for 1/9 of an hour. Now that we know this, we can multiply 9/10 to 9 to get how much he would swim in 1 hour which is 8 1/10

Since 8 1/10 is less than 8 3/4, Ricardo swam farther
