Answer:

Competition

Step-by-step explanation:

Peppered moths get their color in lieu to become the fittest among all so that they can survive easily.

During industrial age, when pollution suddenly became high these moths changed their color through evolution in order to save themselves from their predators.

This is an example of competition with other species and becoming able to survive among all.
