The rock pocket mouse is found mainly in rocky areas of the deserts of the southwestern United States. Most of these mice have light brown fur that allows them to blend in with the desert rocks where they live. However, there is an area of New Mexico with black rock left over from old volcanic eruptions.

Scientists discovered that many of the rock pocket mice living on the black volcanic rock have dark fur.What is the best explanation for this phenomenon?

a)

The dark colored mice 

survived and passed on their genes to their offspring so that, over time, the population became mostly dark colored.
