Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C) Da dark-colored moth b- come more common

During the Industrial Revolution in Britain, air pollution from factories darkened tree bark and other surfaces, which made dark-colored (melanic) peppered moths less visible to predators than their lighter counterparts. This led to a rise in the population of dark-colored moths as they had a better chance of survival and reproduction in the polluted environment.
