Hi there, Sorry but this question does not make sense and I would like to point out that no organism can change itself whenever it needed to. BTW, if the question was "Which characteristic would help the caterpillar the caterpillars avoid being eaten by the birds in large numbers?" Then the answer would be similar to (D) Through natural selection, caterpillars within the population that are similar in colour to the leaves they eat, will survive as they are less suspectible to predators such as the birds. They camouflage with the leaves. These caterpillars will survive, reproduce and pass on their traits to their offsprings. All the best ~
