Lobsters prey on sea hares, which are marine animals. The lobsters find their prey through a sense of smell. The sea hares defend themselves by squirting ink at the lobster, as shown in the photo below. The ink sticks to the lobster, interfering with its sense of smell. The most likely reason the sea hare can escape is because the sea hare ink

• pushes the sea hare away rapidly as the ink is expelled

• blocks a receptor on certain cells in the lobster

• causes the lobster to change its prey

• prevents movement of the lobster
