What evidence did Darwin use to support his theory of evolution? Select three options.in-depth studies of individual organismsobservations of fossilsfinches on different islands different types of beaksyoung finches that acquired desirable traits as they agedobservations of different species with varying traits

Answer
A
in-depth studies of individual organisms
B
observations of fossils
C
finches on different islands different types of beaks
D
young finches that acquired desirable traits as they aged
E
observations of different species with varying traits

Explanation

Darwin used fossils as evidence that species had changed over time. He also observed that finches on different islands had different beak shapes, suited to different food sources, and compared traits across different species. These observations supported the idea that populations change over generations. Young finches do not acquire desirable inherited traits simply as they age, so D is not evidence for Darwin’s theory.
