← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome reduces predation risk if a flounder consistently rests against rocks?
A)Disruptive coloration disrupts effective identification✓
B)Countershading reduces detection from above
C)Aposematism warns and deters predators
D)Batesian mimicry imitates harmful species
💡 Explanation
Disruptive coloration uses high-contrast patterns to break up an organism’s outline, because this camouflage strategy interferes with a predator accurately identifying the flounder’s shape; therefore predation decreases, rather than if countershading, aposematism, or mimicry alone were in operation.
