Which example is most similar to the evidence that Darwin used to support his idea of natural selection?

Answer
A
When a deer population outgrows its food source, the population slowly dies off.
B
Birds that eat a variety of foods are not as well adapted to their environment as other birds.
C
Domestic dogs and wolves share characteristics, so they must have a common ancestor.
D
Mice that can blend in with their environment and escape predators are likely to survive and reproduce.

Explanation

Natural selection favors individuals with inherited traits that help them survive and reproduce. Mice that blend into their surroundings are less likely to be eaten, so they are more likely to reproduce and pass on that trait. Choice D, camouflage helping mice survive and reproduce, is therefore most similar to evidence for natural selection.
