Solution
The correct option is D Chameleon showing protective colouration
Chameleons camouflage themselves in a variety of different ways but most famously by changing the colour and pattern of their skin. Most chameleons can change colour and they do this by expanding or contracting cells in their skin that contain different pigments. They can blend into their surroundings by altering the colour of their skin to match the background. Chamaeleon (girgit) shows protective colouration with its surrounding e.g., twig.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
