Answer:

B. both a and b are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

BIOLOGY

mimicry

the close external resemblance of an animal or plant (or part of one) to another animal, plant, or inanimate object.

OR

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.

and

camouflage

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. Prey animals need to blend in as well, so hungry predators pass right by them.

and

IThe animal which uses the camouflage to escape from the enemies is Chameleon. This changes its color according to the situation which helps it to escape from unwanted danger.
