Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The correct answer is the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? Therefore option c. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Behavior of a person depends on many factors like the interaction, attitude of others, fondness and some other factors. If a particular person or any organism has a threat from other person or organism or has a liking for some or the person or thing or any organism he or she develops a protective and a restrictive behavior for that particular person or organism.

Option c. is given as “How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness?”.

As, “the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? highlight the behavior and the relation of alarm and the prairie dog”, is the right answer.

Hence, option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “How does a squid alter its color to blend in with its environment?”

This question enquires and gives a hint about the process not about a behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option b. is given as “How does a hummingbird's body shape influence its ability to hover?”

This question depicts a process and is not related to behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option d. is given as “Which cues do monarch butterflies use during migration?”

This question asks about the type of monarch butterflies and not about their behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The behavior of an organism shows or tells about the way in which any person, animal or any organism gives response to any particular condition.
