← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases for chameleons when their background matching disrupts effective predator avoidance?
A)Reduced sensory input feedback loop
B)Increased conspecific communication accuracy
C)Greater risk of detection by predators✓
D)Lower metabolic rate maintenance threshold
💡 Explanation
Predator attacks increase as adaptive camouflage fails due to neural-feedback delays, creating a detection risk; this relies on disruptive coloration. Predators visually lock on using perception bias, therefore predators detect prey rather than camouflage continuing to provide cover.
