In England before industrialisation set in, it was observed that there were more white winged moths on trees than dark-winged or melanised moths. After industrialisation, there was more dark winged moths in the same area. The explanation put forth for this observation is 

a. White winged moths changed into melaised form in polluted environment due to deposition of soot

b. The tree trunks became dark due to industrial smoke and soots. Under this condition the white winged moth did not survive due to predator

c. Dark winged or melanised moth survived as they could hide in the background

d. Black winged moth are recessive mutants of the same gene
