Camouflage typically evolves as a result of
A
mutualism.
B
herbivory.
C
predation.
D
interspecific competition.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The particular colors on an animals are determined partly by the genes its gets from its parents. That means that genes that hide animals can spread thanks to natural selection, leading to the evolution of exquisite camouflage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey.

Detailed explanation-3: -ABSTRACT. Camouflage – adaptations that prevent detection and/or recognition – is a key example of evolution by natural selection, making it a primary focus in evolutionary ecology and animal behaviour. Most work has focused on camouflage as an anti-predator adaptation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals and insects often blend in with their surroundings so they don’t attract too much attention, which can make it difficult to find them. Both predators and prey animals use camouflage to their advantage. Predators blend in with the background so their prey won’t see them approaching until it’s too late.
