The best argument for how an unprotected species can evolve to mimic a second protected species (distasteful or noxious) and thus obtain protection is by A. Random changes in the appearance of the unprotected species that lead to increased fitness due to greater similarity with the protected species B. Individuals deciding that they need protection and mutating to look like the protected species C. Individuals changing their diet to increase pigment production to look like the protected species D. Natural selection for more advanced traits that are better to the inferior traits of organisms that do not look like the protected species E. Behavioral modification of the unprotected species to act like the protected species
