Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Prey species continuously evolve defense adaptations such as camouflage, toxins, speed, or warning signals. These anti-predator traits make it difficult for predators to become perfectly efficient at capturing them. So, predators and prey are always in an evolutionary arms race, preventing predators from becoming fully proficient.
