The given figure represents the adaptive radiation of Australian marsupial into placental mammals, which is defined as the process in which the organism undergo diversification to produce multiple new forms mainly when the change in the environment occurs.
This also occurs in case of divergent evolution since it leads to the formation of new forms of organisms from a similar ancestor.
So, the correct option is 'Both (b) and (c)'.
