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.
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.

- If you wanted to reduce the difference between peak and trough levels that occur with repeated administration of a drug, how would you adjust the dose and dose interval without changing the plateau concentration (plateau is the average of peak and trough levels)? Select your answers for both dose and interval. Hint: It may be helpful to think about this problem using an example such as food. How would you eat if you wanted to maintain very steady hunger/satiety levels without changing your total caloric intake? Options: A. Dose; Increase dose B. Dose; Decrease dose C. Dose; Do not change dose D. Interval; Increase the interval between doses (give the drug less frequently) E. Interval; Decrease the interval between doses (give the drug more frequently) F.
