The answer is d. The population of light-colored moths decreased and the population of dark-colored moths increased.

<span>Peppered moth color variation is a good example of natural selection. During the Industrial revolution, due to pollution, trees become darker in the urban area. Light-colored moths were, thus, easy prey. The dark-colored moths were able to camouflage on dark trees and avoid predators. The phenomenon is known as industrial melanism. So, in polluted urban areas, the number of dark-colored peppered moths increased. In the clean environment, were much effective in hiding from predators and they outnumbered the dark-colored moths.</span>

How does variation of beak type affect a birds ability to survive?
Blababa [14]
The variation in beak type enables the different individuals in a population to feed on different food sources.

The shape of the beak is key to determining the primary food source of the bird. Certain birds species have specialized beaks, but within populations of those species, there is a variation in beak shape.
This gives the population the ability to respond to changes in the environment and availability of different food sources.
For example, if because of a dry period there is a shortage of fruit, some individuals in the population have the beaks that enable them to feed on other things, survive and leave offspring.
