Explanation / Answer

Answer- Last option is most appropriate.

Explanation- Founder effect refers to reduction or loss of genetic diversity. It occurs when a new population is established by a small number of individuals belonging to a large population.

Therefore the original small size of the colonist pool may result in divergence due to founder effect and genetic drift. And in order to feed on the large seeds present on the island , natural selection may eventually come into force and would result in large beaks helpful for feeding on these seeds.
