29. A population of finches on an island faces a prolonged drought, leading to a scarcity of small, soft seeds. Only large, hard seeds remain. According to natural selection, what is the most likely outcome for the finch population?

All finches will learn to eat the hard seeds, and their beaks will strengthen.
Finches with smaller, weaker beaks will reproduce more successfully.
Finches with larger, stronger beaks will be favored, leading to an increase in their proportion in the population.
The entire finch population will die out due to starvation.
