The correct choice that identifies a positive correlation regarding the increase in peppered moth populations in England during the late 1800s is:
**the correlation between air pollution and white moth populations.**
This is because the industrial revolution led to increased air pollution that darkened the trees, favoring the darker (black) forms of the moth, which had a better survival rate compared to the lighter (white) forms in polluted environments. As a result, the populations of black moths increased while white moth populations decreased due to higher predation rates against them in the polluted, darkened environment.
