Question

Red touch yellow, kill a fellow.
Red touch black, venom lack.
This is a short rhyme that was written to make it easy to tell apart two very similar looking North American snakes, the coral snake and the king snake. The coral snake is very venomous while the king snake is harmless. However, if you don't remember the order of the stripes, it can be very difficult to tell the two snakes apart. This is an example of:
a. Evolutionary arms race
b. Endosymbiosis
c. Batesian mimicry.
d. Müllerian mimicry
e. Mutualism
