Since the moth evolved over time, it changed colors to match the spot on the trees from factories that didn't have environmental emission boundaries. The ones that could camouflage survived and reproduced and that's how they became dark in color.

Option D, blended in with the soot from the factories, is the right answer.  The dark peppered moth had an advantage because it mixed in with the smoke from the foundries, which preserved it of predators. The light peppered insect could not combine in and the population diminished at high standards. This modified the structure of the community in just a few ages. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

The answer is D. Just think how hard it would be to see a moth of that colour when just about everything during that time period is grey.
