When coral snakes mimic copperhead snakes, which outcome results?

A)Reduction of predation via behavioral deferral
B)Increased mating opportunities via signal amplification
C)Enhanced thermoregulation via color adaptation
D)Improved prey capture via disruptive coloration

💡 Explanation

Batesian mimicry causes predators that have learned to avoid venomous copperheads to also avoid the harmless coral snake mimics because the behavioral deferral increases its survival likelihood; therefore coral snakes benefit rather than facing usual predation.
