Solution

The correct answer is c. HMS Beagle.

Charles Darwin embarked on the HMS Beagle in December 1831. This voyage was pivotal for Darwin as it allowed him to observe a wide range of geological formations, flora, and fauna across different regions of the world, particularly during the ship’s visit to the Galápagos Islands. The observations and collections made during this journey contributed significantly to the development of his theory of natural selection, which he later published in his groundbreaking work, “On the Origin of Species” in 1859. The Beagle's mission was primarily to chart the coastlines of South America, but it turned into an exploratory journey that had profound implications for biology and the understanding of life on Earth.
