What might occur in moth populations if pollution from industry was cleaned up, and the color of tree bark returned to its natural color?
a. birds would prey on both dark and light color moths equally.
b. dark- and light-colored moths would survive in equal numbers.
c. birds would now see the dark moths easier than the lighter color moths.
d. dark moths would continue to be the predominant phenotype.

C. Birds would now see the dark moths easier than the lighter color moths.

Explanation:

The peppered moth, which is the dark colored moth came to exist as an adaptation on evolution because of the industrial revolution and the increase in polution due to the fabrics, this made it easier for the moths to hide from brids, which prior to this had to hunt white colored moths often against sunlight which made it really hard, so the dark colored were the ones that kept surviving.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."
