A new kind of seed plant has been found on a remote island. This plant has larger, harder seeds than those found on the Galapagos Islands. Which of the finch adaptations would be likely to arise on this new island?

Finches with larger, stronger beaks would be better able to crack and eat the island’s larger, harder seeds. Those birds would be more likely to survive and reproduce, making larger beaks more common over generations. The likely adaptation is larger beaks.
