Answer:

A. Other factors may be affecting the color change like fear or temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main problem with the lizards not changing colours could be due to fear or temperature, changing colours doesn´t happen because the lizard chooses to move to the new background, nor the time affects the changing of the colour, and the shade of the background doesn´t have anything to do with the ability of the lizard to change colours, so it must have to be with fear, or temperature, maybe the lizard fears that Emily might be a predator and that is why he doesn´t change colours.
