About thirteen different species of finches inhabit the Galápagos Islands today, all descendants of a common ancestor from the South American mainland that arrived a few million years ago. Genetically, there are four distinct lineages, but the thirteen species are currently classified among three genera. The first lineage to diverge from the ancestral lineage was the warbler finch (genus Certhidea). Next to diverge was the vegetarian finch (genus Camarhynchus), followed by five tree finch species (also in genus Camarhynchus) and six ground finch species (genus Geospiza). If the six ground finch species have evolved most recently, then which of these is the most logical prediction?

Classification of plant mineral nutrients according to biochemical function

Mineral nutrient	Functions
A.)  Silicon(Si)	1.)    Constituent of alcohol dehydrogenase, glutamic dehydrogenase, carbonic anhydrase, etc
B.)  Manganese(Mn)	2.)    Component of sugar phosphates, nucleic acids, nucleotides, coenzymes, phospholipids, phytic acid, etc. Has a key role in reactions that involve ATP
C.)  Zinc(Zn)	3.)    Contributes to cell wall mechanical properties, including rigidity and elasticity.
D.)  Phosphorous(P)	4.)    Component of ascorbic acid oxidase, tyrosinase, monoamine oxidase, uricase, cytochrome oxidase, phenolase, laccase, and plastocyanin.
E.)   Copper(Cu)	5.)    Required for activity of some dehydrogenases, decarboxylases, kinases, oxidases, and peroxidases. Involved with other cation-activated enzymes and photosynthetic O2 evolution

Mengel and Kirkby  have proposed that the essential elements be classified instead according to their biochemical role and physiological function, It shows such a classification, in which plant nutrients have been divided into some basic groups these are;

a.) The first group is nutrients that are part of carbon compounds

b.) The second group is important in energy storage reactions or in maintaining structural integrity

c.) The third group has important roles in reactions involving electron transfer or redox reaction

d.) The fourth group is present in plant tissue as either free ions or ions bound 

Which one of the following group represents CORRECT statements
