The correct response is: "The dark-colored moths became more common."
During the Industrial Revolution, pollution from factories darkened the surfaces of trees where peppered moths rested, giving the darker-colored moths a survival advantage over the lighter-colored ones. This led to an increase in the population of dark-colored moths due to natural selection.
