Verified step by step guidance

Identify the context of the problem: The question is asking about a theory developed based on observations made on the Galápagos Islands.

Recognize that the Galápagos Islands are famous for their unique biodiversity and the role they played in the development of a significant scientific theory.

Recall that Charles Darwin visited the Galápagos Islands during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, where he observed variations in species such as finches.

Understand that these observations led Darwin to propose the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, which explains how species adapt and evolve over time.

Differentiate this theory from other scientific theories listed, such as Atomic Theory, Quantum Theory, and Cell Theory, which are unrelated to the observations made on the Galápagos Islands.
