This question is incomplete. However, the answer to this question is Continental Drift. Approximately 300 million years ago, there were not separate continents, only one giant super continent that we call Pangaea. Over time, scientists realised that the Earth's outer shell slides over the inner mantle through plate tectonics. Around 200 million years ago, Pangaea began to break up through the process of continental drift. Gondwana, incorporating present-day <span>Africa, South America, Antarctica, India and Australia, split from Laurasia (Eurasia and North America). Approximately 150 million years ago, Gondwana started to break up into the present day continents</span>

lina2011 [118]

Answer: The observation "A" leads us to conclude that the finches populations are from two different species

Explanation:

According to the biological concept of species, <em>a set of individuals are from the same species if they are able to reproduce and leave fertile offspring</em>. This is key so one species can be successful and perpetuate through time. If they cannot leave descendants, then the species will be extinct. However, it’s possible that two individuals from different species mate and have descendants, but they cannot leave fertile offspring. When they are from different species, the offspring will be sterile and it is called a hybrid.  

In the case of the South American finch, the island's finch population and mainland's finch population belong to different species because their offspring is sterile. To have different features, as different feather's color, or to have other dietary preference is not enough to say that they are different species. This is because within the same species, individuals can have variations. For example, we can different eye color and belong to the same species.

gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.
