@gmaramara, happy to help!

(C) is incorrect because of the word "most." This is overly strong language that is not explicitly supported by the passage. Moreover, (C) misses the point of the sentence in question. This sentence (lines 47-53) functions to show how the diversity of species- both existing and new- could have been created.

Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions and best of luck with your studies!
