In the given scenario, where foxes more easily catch mice with white fur, the likely consequence is that mice with white fur will be less likely to survive and reproduce compared to those with darker fur. Consequently, the darker fur color would be favored by natural selection.
Thus, the most appropriate response is:
Brown fur will become predominant.
