Correct Option: C
Counter-shading is a camouflage strategy where an animal is dark on top and light on the bottom, helping it blend in with the environment.
- Grasshopper: Camouflage with green color, not counter-shading.
- Toad: Uses camouflage, not counter-shading.
- Fish: Often displays counter-shading; dark back blends with depths, light belly with surface.
- Chameleon: Changes color to blend, but not counter-shading.
