Answer:

The correct answer would be C) It increases survival for cuckoos, but decreases survival of the other birds.

The host chicks often face lots of competition from the cuckoo chicks in terms of food as well as space. It makes it difficult for the host chicks to survive.

It has also been found that cuckoo chicks beg to be fed more intensely due to which host chick die due to starvation.  

In addition, in some species of cuckoo, cuckoo chicks remove host eggs from the nest within few days of hatching.

How are the Hawaiian honeycreepers an example of adaptive radiation?
tatuchka [14]

Answer: In adaptive radiation, many different species evolve from a single ancestor species. Each new species evolves to exploit a different niche, such as food source. In the example above, Hawaiian honeycreepers evolved a range of bill forms in response to available food sources on the Hawaiian archipelago. The honeycreepers dispersed from one founder species, and evolved in response to natural selection based on different food sources in their isolated habitats provided by water. Seed-eating birds evolved thick, short beaks.
