The correct answer is: **a rabbits with thicker fur will become more common**.
This is an example of natural selection, where individuals with traits that provide a survival advantage (in this case, thicker fur in a cold climate) are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, the genetic traits associated with thicker fur are likely to become more prevalent in the population.
