D Correct answer
Explanation

Müllerian mimicry occurs when multiple harmful or unpalatable species evolve similar appearances to reinforce predator avoidance. Bees, wasps, and hornets all share similar black and yellow coloration patterns that warn predators of their stinging ability. This is distinct from Batesian mimicry where a harmless species imitates a harmful one.
