What is the best description of the evolution of camouflage by natural

selection? *
A. Insects see the background they want to blend into, and then actively change their
genotype to match the background.
B. Insects rub against the leaves, bark, or dirt that they live on, so that the pigments from
these substances are transferred to their bodies.
Their offspring inherit this coloration
and blend in more effectively.
C. Mutations occur frequently, so that each offspring insect is a completely different
color. Based on their coloration, the insects seek a habitat they can blend into.
D. Mutations affecting coloration occur randomly in insects. Insects with mutations that
help them to blend in are more likely to survive and reproduce than others. Gradually
these helpful mutations accumulate in the population.
PLEASE HELP
