Question

which organism exhibits behavioral adaptation?
○ an owl with large pupils and eyes that enable it to see better at night
○ a possum playing dead to increase its chances of survival
○ an insect that mimics its environment to hide from its predators
○ a desert plant that sheds its leaves to lessen water loss during the dry season

Explanation:

Behavioral adaptation refers to actions or behaviors an organism does to survive. An owl's large pupils are a structural adaptation (physical trait). An insect mimicking the environment is camouflage, a structural/physiological adaptation. A desert plant shedding leaves is a physiological/structural adaptation (related to plant structure/function). A possum playing dead is a behavior (action) to survive, so it's behavioral adaptation.

Answer:

B. a possum playing dead to increase its chances of survival
