Transcribed Image Text:**Figure Explanation: Navigational Strategies in Ants**
The image consists of two parts depicting different navigational conditions for ants:
**(A) Control**
- The ant starts from a "Nest" and follows a meandering path to a designated point where "Food found" is marked. The route taken does not follow a direct line and involves random, exploratory movement. The return path to the Nest follows a similarly circuitous route.
**(B) Experimental Condition**
- The ant begins from an "Actual nest" and also discovers "Food found." Unlike the Control condition, the ant returns to a different point, marked as the "Nest" site returned to, which deviates from its starting point. The trajectory on the return is more direct, suggesting a refined navigational method.
Both parts of the image have scale bars illustrating a distance of 5 meters for spatial reference. Red arrows trace the return paths taken by the ants in both conditions.
**Question:**
Part A of the figure illustrates which navigational strategy?
**Select one:**
- a. Map-and-compass navigation
- b. Path integration
- c. Trail following
- d. Piloting
This question asks for the identification of the navigational strategy demonstrated by the ant in the Control scenario, based on its exploratory pathfinding and return journey, as depicted in the illustration.
