Ethologists, people who study animal behavior, have traditionally divided an organism’s actions into two categories: learned behavior (based on experience) and instinctive behavior (based on genotype). Some current scholars reject this distinction, claiming that all behavior is a predictable interaction of experience and genotype.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the arguments made in the sentence above?
Answer: D
The argument stated in the information is that all animal actions are as a result of an interaction between experiences and genotype.
Hence, if all experiences and genotypes are identical, all actions will be identical.
This is mentioned in option 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
