Solution

The correct option is C Concealment
The primary reason for the evolution of mimicry is concealment. In case of mimicry, the organism acquires a particular shape to imitate appearance of another organism or an inanimate object. For example; stick insect, that mimics a dry twig or palatable moths, which mimic unpalatable tiger moth. It may provide an added advantage to the organism in defending itself, or in attacking prey.
So, the best and correct option here is 'Concealment'.
