Question Explanation
Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
Options A and C: The discussion on Chromatophores, iridophores and leucophores sufficiently supports the statements here.
Option B: We can infer this from the following excerpt - {Papillae are sections of the skin that can be deformed to make a texture bumpy... For instance, the use of these cells is how an octopus can wrap itself over a rock and appear jagged or how a squid or cuttlefish can imitate the look of a coral reef by growing miniature towers on its skin. It actually matches the texture of the substrate it chooses.}
Option D is not discussed anywhere in the passage.
