Answer:

C. The dark colored moths chose to mutate to become adapted to dark-colored trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given data, the population of light colored moths decreases in dark colored tress while the population of dark colored moth increases in dark-colored trees.

The concept is based on natural selection in which dark color moths undergo mutation to adapt to dark colored trees. This mutation provide camouflage to dark colored moths and increases their population in comparison to light colored moths.

Hence, the correct option is "C".
