Solution

The correct option is B Changing colours to suit with its surroundings
Chameleon can change its colour which helps the animal to camouflage itself in the presence of potential predators. Their slow movement and blending into the surrounding environment make it hard for predators to spot them. Their colour changes also help them in mating as they shift colours while communicating with other chameleons. Their colour change also depicts their reactions such as they display darker colours when empty or when under stressed environmental conditions. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
