Answer 2

The change in moth color is an example of speciation. Thus the correct option is B.

What is a speciation?

Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics.

When the environment changed, due to pollution, the moth population shifted because light-colored moths became easier to see so they were eaten more often. Organisms that survive have a better chance of reproducing so the population continues to grow. Human actions affect other populations.
