Question

what will most likely happen to the population of moths in this habitat?
the population of moths will eventually become extinct.
the moths will evolve from dark to light due to a selective pressure.
the dark colored moths will experience disruptive selection.
the alleles that determine light and dark color in moths will equalize.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a habitat where dark - colored moths are visible and there is selective pressure, they may be more likely to be preyed upon. Over time, natural selection may favor lighter - colored moths if the environment changes or if lighter coloration provides better camouflage. This is an example of directional selection where the population shifts in one direction (from dark to light).

Answer:

The moths will evolve from dark to light due to a selective pressure.
