Solution

The correct option is C Melanization in peppered moth in industrial area.
Industrial melanism in the peppered moth (Biston betularia) is an iconic case study of ecological genetics, but the molecular identity of the gene determining the difference between the typical and melanic (carbonaria) moths is entirely unknown. It is never in accordance with Lamarckism (use and disuse theory).
