Use the diagram to answer the question.

The type of protective adaption exhibited by the animal is

A

disruptive colouration

B

flash colouration

C

countershading colouration

D

warning colouration

correct option: c

Countershading is a form of concealing colouration in which the upper surfaces of the body are more darkly pigmented than the unilluminated lower areas, giving the body a more uniform darkness and a lack of depth relief.

In disruptive coloration, the identity and location of an animal may be concealed through a coloration pattern that causes visual disruption because the pattern does not coincide with the shape and outline of the animal's body.
