In the peppered moth, Biston betularia, the light wing color was consumed by predators less frequently than the dark wing morph in non-polluted forests but was more likely to be taken by predators in a polluted forest. This difference indicates that: a) coal burning pollution kills the light wing morph of peppered moths b) natural selection causes change that leads to perfection in structures c) an adaptation is an evolutionary response to a specific environment d) a specific adaptation will be beneficial in all possible environments
