The correct answer is: Reveal

Key Points

  • Camouflage means to hide or disguise by blending in with the surroundings. (परिवेश के साथ घुलमिलकर छिपना)
    • ExampleThe soldier used natural foliage to camouflage himself in the dense forest.
  • Marked option Reveal means to make something known or visible. (किसी चीज़ को ज्ञात या दृश्यमान बनाना)
    • ExampleThe magician dramatically pulled back the curtain to reveal a stunning illusion.
  • The sentence suggests that the lizard's skin helps it blend in with the desert sand, so the opposite of that would be to make it stand out.
  • So, the antonym for "camouflage" is "reveal".

Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Additional Information

  • Clothed means dressed or covered. (पहना हुआ या ढका हुआ)
  • Mask means to conceal or disguise. (छिपाना )
