Suppose two moths are colored such that they blend in with the trees in the forest where they live. If one moth's coloring blends in much better than the other's, that moth will have less chance of being eaten by predators, and will therefore be more likely to reproduce, thus passing its beneficial coloring on to its offspring. This is an example of:A) natural selection. B) a reflex arc. C) eugenics. D) the law of effect.
