Answer:
А. Insects and seeds travel on birds that migrate or flee from storms.
Explanation:
The scientific article "Against All Odds: Earth's Fragile Pioneers" was written by Stephen James O'Meara for the Odyssey Magazine. In this article, O'Meara details the three specific ways life began on the island of Hawaii.
O'Meara reveals how birds, vegetation, insects, and all things now found in Hawaii have been. Though isolated and far from the other landmass, Hawaii began to have a life of its own, despite being <em>"in the heart of the North Pacific."</em> This can be attributed to birds, wind, and water. And in paragraph 4, he talks about how birds play a vital role in bringing about this life, either intentionally or not. According to O'Meara, insects, and seeds <em>"hitch[ed] a ride on a migrating or storm-driven bird" </em>and were dropped there on the island, which propagated and thus, helped in growing the life forms in the island.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
