← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a chameleon matches surroundings?
A)Decreased predator detection via disruptive camouflage✓
B)Increased metabolic rate thermoregulation response
C)Enhanced mate attraction breeding displays
D)Improved prey location through enhanced vision
💡 Explanation
The chameleon uses disruptive camouflage as its color displays match the environment, leading to decreased detection by its predators. This is due to concealment, because predators visually struggle to identify its outline. Therefore, it evades predation, rather than thermoregulation or attracting mates.
