← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a non-toxic Viceroy butterfly is preyed upon?
A)Predator exhibits taste aversion learning✓
B)Camouflage provides negligible defense
C)Batesian mimicry creates aposematism
D)Lethal toxin induces rapid paralysis

Taste aversion occurs because Batesian mimicry causes the Viceroy to resemble the toxic Monarch; predators learn and avoid this color pattern. Therefore, the predator now associates the color pattern with a poor taste, rather than attacking edible butterflies.
