← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when a flounder's *chromatophore* adaptation is delayed?
A)Increased ultraviolet radiation skin damage
B)Elevated parasite infection vulnerabilities
C)Predator visibility from non-matching background✓
D)Reduced buoyancy control in surf zones
💡 Explanation
Chromatophores provide *camouflage* via pigment distribution; delayed activation leads to a mismatch in color adaptation and renders the camouflage ineffective. Therefore, visibility to a predator increases, rather than alternatives of UV exposure or buoyancy, because those don't have a connection to coloration.
