what is the purpose of a deers orange summer coat?
this question is worth 2 point(s)
to attract mates
to scare off predators
to blend in with green foliage
to keep them warm

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each option

• Option A: Deer use antlers and vocalizations to attract mates, not coat color.
• Option B: Orange color doesn't scare predators. Camouflage helps avoid them.
• Option C: In summer, green foliage is common. Orange - brown (similar to dry grass in some cases but also can blend with green in a forest edge with dappled light) helps deer hide.
• Option D: Summer is warm. Coats are thinner in summer (less for warmth). Thick coats are for winter.

So the purpose of a deer's orange summer coat is to blend in with green foliage.

Answer:

C. To blend in with green foliage
