Based on the theory of natural selection, the next generation of moths would likely be predominantly white in color (option A). Selective pressures, such as predators and environmental conditions, would favor individuals that are better camouflaged against their natural background. In this case, being white would provide an advantage for survival, as it would allow the moths to blend in with light-colored environments, such as tree bark or flowers.
However, it is important to note that this prediction assumes that the current population of moths is mainly peppered (white and black) or black, and that such traits are heritable. If the current population is already predominantly white, then option A (white) would still be the most likely outcome.
