2 population graphs with Year on the x-axis from 0 to 5 and percent of total population on the y-axis from 0 to 100. Top graph: Light trees population increases from 50 percent to just under 75 percent. Dark trees population decreases from 50 percent to above 25 percent. Bottom graph: Light trees population decreases from 50 percent to 13 percent. Dark trees population increases from 50 percent to 85 percent.
a.

Based on the information provided in the graphs, the group of moths that is better adapted to survive the hunting cycle is option C: Dark moths on dark trees. This can be inferred from the fact that as the population of light trees decreases from 50 percent to 13 percent in the bottom graph, the population of dark trees increases from 50 percent to 85 percent. Therefore, the moths that are better adapted to the changing environment (from light to dark trees) would be the dark moths on the dark trees.
