The correct option that supports the role of natural selection in the case of the peppered moths is:
**The observation of moth color frequencies before and after industrial pollution**
This observation demonstrates how environmental changes (like pollution) influenced the frequency of different color morphs in the moth population, which is a key tenet of natural selection.
**The observation of moth color frequencies before and after industrial pollution**
This observation demonstrates how environmental changes (like pollution) influenced the frequency of different color morphs in the moth population, which is a key tenet of natural selection.
