Answer:

The correct answer is option d, that is, mimicry.

Explanation:

Mimicry in evolutionary biology refers to an evolved similarity between the organism and another organism of other species. The phenomenon may take place between the individuals of a similar species or between the individuals of distinct species. The main objective of mimicry is to safeguard the species from predators, resulting in an antipredator adaptation.  

The evolution of mimicry takes place when the predator witnesses a similarity between the model and the mimic and as a consequence modifies its behavior in a manner, which offers a selective benefit to the mimic.
