C. Most people living in Australia and New Zealand descend from Britain and Ireland

Explanation:

Australia and New Zealand have been discovered by the Europeans very recently, and they have long been in isolation from the rest of the world. Even though it was not the British that discovered Australia and New Zealand, they were the ones that decided that it will be good idea to settle on them. First it was Australia that was settled, and the settlers were actually mostly prisoners from Britain and Ireland, thus Australia was used as a large open prison for them. That didn't work for a long time and the people broke free and established their own country, unfortunately being very cruel toward the native populations and decimating their numbers. New Zealand was settled slightly later, and it was settled by people looking for new opportunities. The two islands quickly picked up a lot of interest and lot of people from Britain and Ireland moved in. Unlike in Australia, the relations with the native people were much better, despite having some initial conflicts, everything was settled very quickly and peacefully, with the natives and new comers living together and in harmony ever since.
