melanin is responsible for the colour in human skin while chromatophre is responsible for the colour in chamelion
Chromatophores are pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells, or groups of cells, found in a wide range of animals including amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans and cephalopods. Mammals and birds, in contrast, have a class of cells called melanocytes for coloration.
It would have been melanin if the question said in humans.
answer is chromatophre B
Zoology. a cell containing
pigment, especially one that

expansion produces a
temporary color, as in
