The CORRECT ANSWER IS E.
E. adaptive radiation
Explanation:
Adaptive radiation is the comparatively swift evolution of some species from a singular familiar ancestor. Adaptive radiation is seen when an organism encroach a new area and varying traits influences its survival such as the advancement of mammals after the elimination of dinosaurs.
Adaptive radiations can be activated by extrinsic factors like the emerging of new environmental favourable circumstances through development of unique situations, and/or by intrinsic factors ('key adaptive innovations') that raises the presence of niches to a transforming lineage
Adaptive radiation process can also be called divergent evolution.
