Solution
The correct option is E Camouflage
Camouflage is the property of an organism which serves as a defensive measure. Merging with the environment serves as an ideal option so as to lower the risk of being preyed upon and increases the chances of becoming a successful predator.
The walking stick camouflages to its environment in a way that it looks exactly like the branch on the tree, so the prey and predators can't distinguish it, which serves the purpose.
