The answer is letter b. adaptation. Adaptation occurs when living organisms adapt to their surroundings or nvironment over a long period of time. In this case, Darfk Furred Squirrels were abundant, since squirrels adapted to the dark shady area they have lived and adapted into a dark furred one, which allowed it to be more common due to adaptation.
