Birds-of-paradise are birds that live in tropical forests. Male birds-of-paradise have brightly colored, elaborate ornamental feather designs, while females have dull coloring that blends in with the environment. How does natural selection explain the coloring traits in the male birds?

A The male’s brightly colored feathers are preferred by females looking for a mate, making the genes for these traits more common in males.

B The male’s brightly colored feathers allow them to blend in better with their surroundings, providing a better defense against predators.

C The male’s brightly colored feathers cause females to move away from the area, creating male-only populations in the forest.

D The male’s brightly colored feathers enable the birds to fly at greater heights, causing them to be more visible to females.
