Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C. It would have outcompeted the other finches in the area

The finch with large beak has survival advantage over the finches with small beaks.

With this trait they can reach and explore more resources than the finches with small beaks.

In addition, the trait would increase in the population under the process of natural selection.

Thus, the finch with large beak would out-compete the finches with smaller beaks.
