(D) Adaptive radiation is an evolutionary process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms,particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available.In Australia,many marsupials,each different from the other (e.g.,Marsupial mole,Koala,Bandicoot,Wombat),evolved from an ancestral stock within the Australian continent.This process is a classic example of adaptive radiation.Since adaptive radiation is a type of divergent evolution (where species with a common ancestor evolve different traits),both $A$ and $C$ are correct.
