Industrial melanism is a phenomenon that best demonstrates:
1. The overuse of industrial pollutants leading to genetic mutations in species.
2. The ability of a species to change color in response to industrial pollution.
3. Evolution through natural selection, where darker individuals become more common due to industrial pollution.
4. The disappearance of industrial pollutants from the environment due to the adaptation of microorganisms.
