Answer:

The correct answer would be C.  The tortoises provided evidence that different species have adaptations suited to their particular environments.

Darwin observed that how different environment on different island lead to the development of different species as a result of adaptations and natural selection.

For example, tortoise inhabiting well-watered islands which used to have short and cropped vegetation had developed a dome-shaped shell.  

In contrast, the tortoise inhabiting the arid islands had developed saddle-shaped shells. It is because they needed to stretch their necks in order to reach branches of cactus and other vegetation available in the area.  

Consequently, they developed long necks and high peak to the front edges of their shells. It made it possible for them to stretch their heads vertically.

valentina_108 [34]

hi <3

changes in the enzyme's shape would decrease its ability to function as this would change the active site of the enzyme, meaning it is harder for it to carry out its job.

this is why we try to keep enzymes in their optimum environmental conditions so they can function their best

hope this helps :)
