Which hunting outcome occurs in peppered moths as industrial pollution darkens tree bark?

A)Directional selection increases melanism frequency✓

B)Genetic bottleneck reduces species diversity

C)Founder effect amplifies rare alleles

D)Gene flow prevents local adaptation

💡 Explanation

Directional selection increases melanism because camouflage against dark bark improves survival and reproduction; therefore, darker moths become more common, rather than diversity reducing from bottlenecks or impeded adaptation from gene flow.
