A dark brown mouse would be most likely to escape predation at night in the scenario where it has the best camouflage against its background. Given the options:
A. on light-colored soil with full moon light - The mouse would be easily visible against the light-colored soil. B. on dark-colored soil with no moon - The mouse would blend in well with the dark soil and be less visible to predators due to the absence of moonlight. C. on light-colored soil with no moon - Similar to option A, the mouse would be more visible on light soil. D. on dark-colored soil with full moon light - The bright moonlight would make the mouse more visible against the dark soil.
The best option for the dark brown mouse to escape predation at night is B. on dark-colored soil with no moon, as this provides optimal camouflage and reduced visibility to predators.
