← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence predominantly results from a flounder's ineffective disruptive camouflage adoption on a new substrate composed mostly of black gravel?
A)Increased susceptibility to parasitic infestation
B)Elevated risk of hypothermal shock
C)Heightened predation risk by predators✓
D)Impaired osmoregulation within tissues
💡 Explanation
Heightened predation risk primarily occurs because the flounder, lacking effective disruptive camouflage, becomes visually conspicuous; this increased contrast boosts detectability by predators using visual hunting strategies, therefore the conspicuousness increases threat rather than alternative issues.
