Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

Pollution generated as a result of the industrial revolution led to the accumulation of dust, soot, et cetera on the bark of trees which led to the darkening of the bark of the trees.

Consequently, the dark-colored peppered moth had a survival advantage as they were better able to camouflage with dark trees.

Natural selection increased the number of the dark-colored peppered moth.  

Thus, it can be concluded that pollution from the industrial revolution darkened the trees which led to an increase in the number of dark-colored peppered moths.

This Plasmodium infect red blood cells and the vector that trasmites it is the Anopheles mosquitoe. In this disease, red blood cells can have severe damage in different organs because of the hemolysis.

Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. The main vector of them are domestic cats. When cats are infected, T. gondii oocysts is found in their feces and it can spread to humans. This disease is generally asymptomatic, except when the patient has AIDS or in pregnancy, which can be very dangerous and fatal.

Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis is caused by protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and is generally transmitted to people thanks to the feces of triatomine bugs. Some of the acute symptoms include fever, vomiting, headache, and in severe cases people can develop a chronic disease. In the worst cases it can produce flaccid cardiomegaly (enlargement of the heart) leading to heart failure and death.
