It is false to that question.
Answer:
The question is not well structured, the correct one is;
Look at the following statement. What word completes the second gap? Substances move by active transport from an area where they are __________ concentrated to an area where they are __________ concentrated
The answer is MORE
Explanation:
Substances move from one position to another in living systems. This movement of substances can either be passive (without energy) or active (require energy). Active transport of substances involves the movement of substances against their concentration gradient.
Ideally, substances move naturally from an area they are more concentrated to an area they are less concentrated but in active transport, the opposite occurs i.e. substances move from area that they are less concentrated to one that they are more concentrated, which is going up against the normal concentration slope/gradient. Due to this, energy in form of ATP is usually required by the cell to perform active transport unlike passive transport that occurs without energy input.
Exanples of active transport in living cells are exocytosis and endocytosis in some organisms. Based on this explanation, the first gap will be LESS while the second gap will be MORE.
Answer:
C. Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.
D. Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.
E. Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.
Explanation:
The presence of genetic variations among the individuals of a population is required for natural selection to be operative. Natural selection targets the beneficial genetic variations present in the population. Natural selection refers to the differential reproductive and survival success of organisms of a population due to some beneficial genetic traits. These organisms with beneficial genetic traits are able to survive and leave more progeny under prevailing conditions.
If the natural selection has occurred in the ground finch population for the beak size, the beak size should be a genetic trait since natural selection works on genetic traits only. The finch population should have variations with respect to the beak size. The finches having the larger beak size that enabled them to feed on larger, tougher seeds should have higher survival and reproductive fitness during the drought.
Under these conditions, natural selection would favor the finches with larger beak size and would eventually result in an increase in the average beak size of the future generations.

I'm pretty sure it's B, pressure.
