****PLEASE HELP****There are green and red bugs living in an area. As a result of an environmental change, birds that live in the same area grow in numbers. These birds eat the bugs, and they prefer the taste of the red bugs.

How will the increase in the bird population most likely affect the bug population?

Green bugs will survive better and reproduce, so the bug population will evolve into mostly green bugs.
Red bugs will survive better and reproduce, but the bug population will evolve into mostly green bugs.

It's the first answer. Or answer A.
This is because if the birds prefer to eat red bugs over than green bugs, and the bird population is growing, that means green bugs will more likely survive and the bug population will become green instead of red to avoid being eaten by birds.
