Scenario: Before the industrial revolution in England the predominant peppered moth had light colored
wings. After the industrial revolution more dark colored moths appeared until they were the dominant form of
the moth. The major predators of these moths were sparrows that relied on sight to identify and eat the
moths.
The dark colred moths began to increase in numbers in the forest of the industrial area because
A They blended in with the dark tree trunks and were camouflaged from the sparrow predators
B They were not as sensitive to the sooty pollution as the light colored moths
C The reproduction rate was slower than the light colored moths
D The dark colored moths tasted bad as compared to the light colored moths
