Solution

(d) all climates

Camouflage refers to the use of a combination of materials, illumination or colouration that makes an animal blend in with its environment, or makes it harder to spot. Some types of camouflage are also used to disguise animals as something else.”

Camouflage is a natural phenomenon used by plants and animals to blend into their environment. Predators and prey alike use camouflage to avoid detection.

The whiteness (white fur) of polar bear, which is found in cold climates, camouflages with the white snow and makes it difficult to be seen. Similarly, several animals found in hot and wet climates have a skin colour that camouflage with the background.
