Answer:

Dark colored moth

Explanation:

Moths either dark or light live on the bark of the trees. During industrial revolution in England, excessive pollution caused the darkening of bark of trees. Due to this environmental change, some of the light colored moths evolved and turned into dark colored moths. Both bark and moth being dark in color, made the moths untraceable by their predators. While the light colored moths on dark trees were easily recognizable by their predators.

Hence, the dark colored moths possess high fitness.
