B. Brown

Explanation:

In order to understand the answer of the question we need to understand a mechanism called Camouflage first.

It refers to a process which some animals insects or other living organisms adapt by changing their body color or color combination in such a way that they are less visible to predators. This is basically a survival mechanism which increases their chances to avoid the predator and live safely.

If we talk about beetles they have three colors, Brown , Green and mixed. If beetles are living in an area where trees are highly polluted due to air pollution and have got brownish in colors, in that area brown beetles have better chances of survival because they will not be very visible to predators due to a similarity of their body color with tree colors.

In question, we are asked about Beetles that live in vegetation and vegetation is obviously greenish in color. So brown beetles are least fit in this area because they will be easily visible to predators on green vegetation that clearly lowers their survival chances.

Hope it help!

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
