Answer:

a. The light moths will be captured by the predators more easily than the dark moths and the population of dark moths will rise.

Step-by-step explanation:

The light colored moths are more easily seen by the predators and therefore they are captured by them Dark colored moths are not seen by the predators easily because they disappear in the darkness. The population of dark moth will rise eventually because they are not captured by the predators.
