Laurel Knapp · Answer 1

D. The moths display an innate response to an external stimulus

Explanation:

A stimulus is any change in internal or external conditions of organisms to which they respond. Here, bright light serves as external stimulus to which the moth species respond by flying towards it. This behaviour of moth species to fly towards bright light is present in them since birth, that is, it is an innate response.
