The correct statement about the population of peppered moths in modern Britain is:
c. the light-colored moths are most common due to antipollution regulations.
This is because pollution in the past darkened tree bark, giving dark-colored moths a survival advantage. However, as antipollution regulations were implemented and air quality improved, the tree bark became lighter again, resulting in light-colored moths becoming more common once more.
