Question

The hoverfly, which is harmless, looks very similar to the wasp, which can cause harm. What is this referred to as:______A. Mechanical defense B. Mimicry C. Herbivory D. Predation

Answer 1

This would be Mimicry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hoverfly is basically mimicking the wasp in order to trick its predators. Mechanical defense is a physical defense such as thorns, slippery skin, etc. So therefor Mechanical defense is incorrect, and so is herbivory and predation. :)
