When an animal has a feature that helps them to disguise, in this case specifically making the animal blend into the surroundings, this is called a camouflage. A camouflage is a result of a process by which, under the pressure of natural selection, a feature gets prevalent in a species in order to make this species more fitted to the environment. In this case, the penguins are safer in their environment with this feature. This process is called adaptation, and this is a camouflage adaptation.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. adaptation.

In what order does water transition from ocean water to rain water?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Water moves from the ground or oceans into the atmosphere through a process called evaporation. It's a process that happens on a molecular level when the molecules of water are really energized and rise into the air.

<em>Water evaporates </em>from the surface of the sea into the air. The water vapors condensed in the air and take the shape of clouds. And when the water vapors become heavier than air its starts raining. This is how the ocean water turns into rain and the cycle goes on.
