Which physiological outcome arises when a non-venomous viceroy butterfly shares coloration patterns with a monarch butterfly that uses aposmatism?

A)Reduced predation from avian predators
B)Increased photosynthetic efficiency
C)Enhanced mate attraction signals
D)Improved thermal regulation capacity

💡 Explanation

Reduced predation results from Batesian mimicry because the viceroy avoids predators due to resembling monarchs, which birds know are toxic; therefore, viceroys are less targeted, rather than enhanced photosynthesis, mate attraction, or thermoregulation.
