Animals have the innate ability to escape from predation. Examples for the same are given below. Select the incorrect example:

  1. A
    Enlargement of body size by swallowing air in puffer fish
  2. B
    Melanism in moths
  3. C
    Poison fangs in snakes
  4. D
    Colour change in chameleon

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Melanism in moths is not an example of an innate ability to escape from predation. Melanism refers to the presence of dark-colored pigmentation in an organism, and while it may provide some protection against predators, it is not an innate ability to escape from predation. So, the correct answer is option B. Notice that the other options are correct. Puffer fish can enlarge their body size by swallowing air to deter predators, snakes have poison fangs that they use to defend themselves, and chameleons can change color to blend in with their surroundings and avoid predators.
