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.
