Option (C) adaptive radiation is correct.
Whatever its ultimate cause(s), the Cambrian explosion is a prime example of adaptive radiation.
What is adaptive radiation?
- Adaptive radiation is a process in evolutionary biology whereby animals rapidly diverge from an original species into a variety of new forms.
- Especially when an alteration in the environment results in the availability of new resources, changes in biotic interactions, or the emergence of new environmental niches.
- The phenomena of adaptive radiation offers a wealth of research opportunities.
- The strongest examples of adaptive radiations are seen in populations that are closely related and have only recently evolved.
- A striking example is the evolution of primitive mammalian species into those that can run, jump, climb, swim, and fly starting in the Paleogene Period (66 million years ago).
