Answer:
C. The average color of the population would become paler.
Step-by-step explanation:
Darker brown lizards stand out against the pale background of White Sands, making them easy prey. In only a few generations of living on these white sands, the average color the population would become paler as the darkest ones would be picked off by predators more often.
This evolutionary sequence has actually occurred. After about 7,000 years of living in White Sands National Monument, several species of lizards, including the eastern fence lizard (left) and the striped whiptail lizard (right), have developed populations with very pale coloring.
