Answer:B Natural

Explanation:Camouflage is a adaptation which animals use to blend in with their surroundings in order to protect themselves from the predators and hunters. This also gives them a better chance of survival and easy mode of hunting for food.

For example: white fox hides in the snow from the predators

Camouflage is a clear example of Physical or Structural adaptations.

-Body shape, color and body patterns are the adaptations that assists both predators and prey to camouflage

-As in the example mentioned, the polar bear with its white fur hides in the snow and waits for the right time to attack its prey without being seen

Hope it helps!!
