Which consequence results when a chameleon's camouflage fails under intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation?

💡 Explanation

When the chameleon's camouflage fails because of excessive UV light, predator avoidance suffers by disrupting disruptive coloration function; chromatophore cells reflect rather than match surroundings, therefore attention increases rather than melanin increases because cooling effects are marginal under compromised conditions.
