The correct statement about the population of peppered moths in modern Britain is:

The light-colored moths are most common due to antipollution regulations.

This is because, after the implementation of antipollution measures, the tree bark became lighter as soot diminished, providing a better camouflage for the light-colored moths compared to the dark-colored ones.
