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.

Darina [25.2K]

It is not possible for Sarah and Thomas to develop cystic fibrosis but it would be possible for one of their children to inherit it. Both Sarah and Thomas are heterozygous and in a heterozygous pair of alleles the dominant allele is the one that will present. Because Sarah and Thomas both have the heterozygous allele combination Ff they are carriers which means that they will not experience symptoms of cystic fibrosis but they could pass cystic fibrosis onto one of their children.
