Solution

The correct option is C To mix with the surroundings
The different types of stripes in tigers and leopards are ideal in proving camouflage to these animals according to their need. The black stripes help the animal to be hidden in the shades of the tree. The stripes on their body look like shadows as they stalk through long grasses in the moonlight. Besides being an adaptation to mix with their surroundings these stripes also act as finger prints for them as no two tigers have same type of stripes.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
