moths changed color to match their surroundings by choice
the moths color change was caused by pollution directly altering their genes
both light and dark moths were equally camouflaged regardless of conditions
natural selection favored moths whose coloration matched the environment

Explanation:

Dr. Kettlewell's experiments focused on the peppered moth. Moths didn't change color by choice. Pollution didn't directly alter genes. Light and dark moths weren't equally camouflaged in all conditions. His work supported natural selection, where moths with coloration matching the environment (e.g., dark moths on soot - covered trees after industrial pollution) were favored.

Answer:

Natural selection favored moths whose coloration matched the environment.
