The changes in foot structure in the bird population over many generations are best explained by evolution. This is because evolution involves changes in inherited characteristics of a population over time, often as a result of natural selection. In this case, the changes in foot structure likely resulted from adaptations that provided a survival advantage to the birds in their environment.
