The answer is: The color change could help the green bugs blend with their surroundings more and make it difficult for predators to eat them.

Explanation:

  • The first option is incorrect because it does not provide a valid reason related to the survival or reproductive success of the bugs. It is a subjective statement and does not address the potential advantages of the mutation.
  • The second option is correct because it explains how the color change could provide a survival advantage. If the green bugs blend in better with their surroundings, they are less likely to be seen and eaten by predators, which increases their chances of survival and reproduction.
