Solution
The correct option is C the leaf insect and the chameleon
Chameleons are known for changing their colour. They have some specialized cells beneath their skin known as chromatophores, which help them in colour changing, while leaf insect is camouflaged to protect themselves from predators. They do so accurately that predators are not able to identify them from the real leaves.
All other options do not have chromatophores in their cells.
