Solution

Darwin's finches is a very good example of adaptive radiation.

Explanation: 

Darwin’s finches diversified from a common ancestral group into forms adapted to different food sources and ecological niches. This is adaptive radiation, not convergent or parallel evolution; analogous organs are anatomical features, not the evolutionary pattern described.
