Answer:

moths would begin becoming lighter as the pollution is reduced

Explanation:

The color of the moths would begin becoming lighter as the pollution is reduced. This is because during the time of high amounts of pollution industrial melanism takes place and the moth's pigmentation becomes a darker tone. This is so that the moths are able to blend in better with its surroundings and survive. Pollution causes sulphur dioxide gas and dark soot deposits which have a greyish dark tone, thats why moths pigmentation turns darker. With pollution reduced moths need a lighter colored pigment to blend into lighter colored objects such as trees and leaves.
