Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The comparison presented is that the Galápagos Islands are relatively newly formed and fragmented into diverse habitats, which is accurate in terms of their geological history and the diversity of species found there. The other options either make incorrect statements, such as the mainland being highly diverse or identical to the islands, or are not accurate in terms of the islands' history, such as the notion that they were recently connected by land bridges.
