Explanation:

Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully. In year 8, there was a severe snowstorm (as indicated by the blue - colored column). In snowy environments, white rabbits have a camouflage advantage over brown rabbits. This means that white rabbits are less likely to be preyed upon compared to brown rabbits.

a severe snowstorm
