Which statement BEST summarizes Darwin's explanation for these differences? A) Random mutations caused the shape of the shells to fluctuate periodically. B) The shape of the tortoise shell varied because the predators on the islands were all similar. C) The particular shape of the shellwas best suited for the island on which the tortoise was living.
