Answer 1

The correct option is D Camouflage

Option D: 'Camouflage' means 'hide or disguise something, by painting or covering them to make them blend in with their surroundings'.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option D is correct.

Option A: 'Cover' means 'to put something on top of/in front of something else in order to conceal or protect it'.

Option B: 'Mask' is 'a covering for all of or part of the face'.
