During industrialization in England, the black colored peppered moth became dominant over the light colored form. This is an example of

A

Protective mimicry whereby the melanic form of moth has no selective advantage over lighter forms

B

Melanism which is a pollution generated feature and a defensive adaptation of skin against UV radiations.

C

Natural selection whereby the melanic forms arose by random mutations that were selected as they had protective resemblance with the surroundings.

D

Appearance of melanic forms due to darkening of body as a result of smoke from industries.

During the neutralisation of an acid by a base, the end point refers to the completion of reaction. The detection of end point in acid-base neutralisation is usually made by an acid-base indicator. An acid-base indicator is itself a weak acid (Phenolphthalein) or a weak base (Methyl orange). At 50% ionisation which depends on the medium. the anion furnished by an indicator (acid) cation furnished colour to solution at end point. For example, phenolphthalein dissociation underset("Colourless")(HIn)toH^(+)+underset("Pink")(In^(-)),K_(HIn)=([H^(+)][In^(-)])/([HIn]) is favoured in presence of alkali and pink colour of phenolphthalein ion is noticed as soon as the medium changes to alkali nature. The end point of acid-base neutralisation not necessarily coincides with eqivalence point but it is closer to equivalence point. Also at equivalence point of acid-base neutralisation, pH is not necessarily equal to 7. The indicator phenolphthalein is a tautomeric mixture of two forms as given below: Which of the following statements are correct? The form II is referred as quinonoid form and is deeper is colour. (Q)The form I is referred as quinonoid form and is light in colour. (R) The form II is more stable in alkaline medium. (S) The change is pH from acidic to alkaline solution bring in the more and more conversion of I form to II form. (T) The form I is more stable in acidic medium.
