Which consequence results when a camouflaged katydid nymph resides on an inactive, graying leaf?

A)Increased photosynthetic yield in larva
B)More effective conspecific prey ambush
C)Amplified auditory deception behavior
D)Compromised protective resemblance to predators

💡 Explanation

Predators can visually identify katydids more readily; therefore, its protective camouflage is compromised when background matching declines with the leaf's senescence, due to a loss in matching visual wavelengths rather than enhanced crypsis.
