A. Mass extinction is the answer
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.

Natural selection means that the organisms better adapted to their environment, that is, they have developed the right characteristics/skills/response to the external ambient, have higher chance to survive, making the next generations genetically inherit such acquired surviving characteristics.
These generations will thus have a higher chance of survival, making these species being "naturally selected" as survivors, while those who haven't or are slower in this process, have a higher risk of elimination.
