A penguin is white on its belly, and black on its back so it is harder to see underwater from above or below.
A
physical
B
behavioral
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Called countershading, the black and white coloration helps camouflage the birds from potential predators. When seen from below a white belly better blends in with light-filled surface waters while from above a black back looks similar to the dark hues of the deep ocean.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some of the behavioral adaptations of penguins are huddling in large groups, male parental care, and monogamy. Penguins live in extremely cold climates and one of the behavioral adaptations they have is to huddle in large groups, particularly during storms. The penguins can then shiver to generate and share body heat.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Adaptation is defined as the process where a species or an organism gradually becomes better acclimated to its environment.” Adaption refers to the behavioral or physical attributes of an animal that helps them survive better in its ecosystem.
