Will give brainliest! use this graph : which statement is a reasonable explanation for the difference in the appearances of the two oldfield mouse populations? a) the dark coats of beach mice were more common because the coat color is a dominant trait. b) beach mice with light coats remained in underground burrows. c) the dark coats of beach mice became lighter with sun exposure. d) beach mice with dark coats were more easily spotted by predators.

The answer is D. The dark mice could not camouflage on the white beach sand hence were more conspicuous. Therefore, the Predators were able to easily spot them and prey on them. Therefore, the phenotype of dark mice reduced in the population since most mice were not able to reach maturity and pass down their traits. The allele for white fur, therefore, increased in the population. This is the process of natural selection at work.
