Correct Answer: adaptive radiation


Solution : The correct answer is adaptive radiation.

The process of evolution of different species in a given geographical area, starting from a point and radiating to other areas of geography (habitats), is called "adaptive radiation." Adaptive radiation occurs when a single ancestor species gives rise to a variety of species. Each adapted to different ecological niches within the environment. This phenomenon is often associated with the exploration of new habitats and the adaptation of organisms to exploit diverse resources.
