The Galapagos finches differ in their beak shape and size. Different species feed on seeds that vary in size and hardness. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for these patterns?

In a bird species A, the male alone builds the nest, incubates the eggs and feeds the nestling. In bird species B, it is the female that does all that. In bird species C, both sexes contribute equally to the above activities. In species A and B, the uninvolved partner may fly away and mate again. Which sex among A, B and C is most likely to develop colorful plumage during breeding season?
