검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand the context of the problem: The Industrial Revolution in England led to significant environmental changes, including increased pollution and soot from factories, which darkened surfaces in urban areas.
Recall the concept of natural selection: Dark-colored (melanic) moths had a survival advantage in soot-covered environments because they were better camouflaged from predators compared to lighter-colored moths.
Identify the regions most affected by industrial pollution: Industrialized urban areas experienced the highest levels of soot and pollution during the Industrial Revolution, altering the environment and favoring melanic moths.
Eliminate other options: Mountainous highlands, rural agricultural regions, and coastal beaches were less affected by industrial pollution and did not provide the same selective advantage for melanic moths.
Conclude that the correct answer is industrialized urban areas, as these regions provided the environmental conditions that favored the survival and prevalence of dark-colored moths.
