Answer:

d. All of the above

Explanation:

Mimicry refers to the resemblance of organisms of two different species with respect to structural, behavioral or physical features. Mimicry helps a defenseless species (mimic) to protect itself against predation due to its resemblance to the aggressive and dangerous species (a model).

For example, harmless king snake mimics venomous coral snake to avoid the predators. It represents the Batesian mimicry.

In other cases, predators may use mimicry to catch their food organisms. In Mullerian mimicry, two or more harmful species resemble each other.
