Answer: Fourth option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolution is the process of changing in the heritable features of population over certain number of generations.

According to options,

If the predator prefers one phenotype of another.

As we know that natural selection is based on phenotype rather than on genotype.

Whenever the predator changes the phenotype, there will be change in features of population of predators.

It would most likely result in evolution.

Hence, Fourth option is correct.
