adapting characteristics of a stronger organism for defense
A
vascular
B
nonvascular
C
mimicry
D
rhizoid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mimicry is the evolutionary adaptation of some organisms shows a protective resemblance. In the process of mimicry, a weak organism mimics features of another strong organism to avoid predation. This adaptation assists the organism in escaping from predators.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mimicry occurs when one species of animal (the mimic) resembles another species that has easily recognizable characteristics (the model) and as a result deceives a potential predator (the dupe) that might otherwise capture and eat it.

Detailed explanation-3: -mimicry, in biology, phenomenon characterized by the superficial resemblance of two or more organisms that are not closely related taxonomically. This resemblance confers an advantage-such as protection from predation-upon one or both organisms by which the organisms deceive the animate agent of natural selection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mimicry complexes typically consist of multiple species that deter predators using similar anti-predatory signals. Mimics in these complexes are assumed to vary in their level of defence from highly defended through to moderately defended, or not defended at all.
