Answer:
C. The dark colored moths will experience disruptive selection.
Explanation:
When A bird species is introduced in the habitat with white and black moth, the moths in black or dark color will experience disruptive selection as The tree or habitat is favoring white moth and black moth will be easily noticed by predators or birds.
Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which genetics of population is changes by favoring traits with extreme over intermediate values.
Due to increase in pressure of predators the dark moth will try to find the advantages from light shoot trees (as shown in figure) for survival and leads to speciation with two or more different species forming, and the moth with middle traits will be wiped out.
Hence, the correct option is C.

So white blood cell’s(WBCs for short) main job is to fight infections.
They do this by swallowing the infection.
You see,WBCs do not have a permanent shape.this means that they enlarge and decrease size of parts of their body.So they grow two long arm like structures called pseudopodia which swallow the infection.(pseudopodia means false feet).
You can see the process in the photo I attached from google
