Answer:

B. Light-colored coats were selected for on light-colored sand.

Explanation:

  • Natural selection is the process by which nature selects individuals with a particular phenotype that allows them to survive better in the given environment.
  • In the case given, the deer mice with light color coat tare able to survive better on a light colored sand as compared to dark-colored mice, this is because the light colored mice can camouflage on a light colored sand.
  • Camouflaging helps the light colored mice to avoid predators but as the dark-colored mice cannot do so on light colored sand they are more prone to predation and hence are eliminated by natural selection.
