Animal behavior refers to which of the following?

• A. How animals digest food
• B. Actions or reactions of animals
• C. The color of fur
• D. Feeding patterns

Answer: (B)

Animal behavior is about the actions or reactions animals show in response to their environment and to other beings. It includes what they do and how they respond—moving, feeding decisions, communication, social interactions, and reactions to threats or changes around them. This makes the best choice because it captures the whole idea of behavior as observable actions and responses. Digestion is a physiological process of the body breaking down food, not how the animal acts. Fur color is a physical trait determined by genetics, not a behavior. Feeding patterns can reflect behavior, but they describe a specific aspect rather than the full concept of animal behavior.
