Hello, everyone. Today I'll be helping you with the 13th problem, which is asking the observation that male Bauer birds decorate their nests with blue objects favored by females can best be associated with. So it's asking you which one So a says Ah, insight learning, which is not true because they're not learning. B is imprinting. And now imprinting is only used when, um, like an animal is just hatching out of the ache, and it sees the first thing that moves, and then it's instantly attracted to on sea, says sexual selection. Which is true because if you want to attract a mate, you wanna make things beautiful, like a nest on D. Altruism falls because altruism is the behavior that has the potential to lower reproductive success of another like a competitors said no. So C is the only possible one, which is, Ah, sexual selection. So I hope you found this helpful, and I hope you have a great day. Thank you very much.
