3. Statement I is correct but statement II is false.
4. Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true.
| Statement I: | In England, during the Industrial Revolution, the black-colored form of Biston Betularia became dominant over the light-colored form of moth because of natural selection, the darker forms were selected. |
| Statement II: | Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the peppered moths exhibited protective mimicry and the light-colored moths were not noticed by predatory birds due to light-colored lichens on the bark of trees. |
