Answer 2

Answer:

The option b. Camouflage is correct.

Explanation:

Camouflage is the phenomenon where the  personnel or equipment hide from an enemy and mock them by appearing to be part of the natural surroundings.

Here, in this case the caterpillars creep down the stem and lie on the herbage, dry sticks and leaves on the ground. Since their body has a similar color combination with these things they get protected by the enemies or the predators.

Some examples of camouflage are -

• Butterflies have a similar color as flowers when gathering nectar.
• Grasshoppers have the same color as the blades of grass.
• The spots on the leopards disguise the outline of their bodies while sitting in the shadows.
• Chameleons change the colors and patterns to regulate their body temperature and to send signals and it can also help them blend in with their surroundings.
• Uniforms of military soldiers which match the color combination which is related to forest.
