Question

which of the following claims is best supported by the information provided in the passage? choose 1 answer: a organisms, such as lions, use both individual and group behaviors to maximize their chances of survival and reproduction. b social organisms use only group behaviors to increase their chances of survival and reproduction. c an organism’s individual behaviors can increase their own chances of survival, but group behaviors cannot.

Explanation:

• Option B says social organisms use only group behaviors, which is incorrect as many social organisms also have individual behaviors.
• Option C claims group behaviors can't increase survival chances, which is wrong (e.g., group hunting in lions helps survival).
• Option A is correct as organisms like lions (a social species) use individual (e.g., solo hunting sometimes) and group behaviors (e.g., pride hunting) to maximize survival and reproduction.

Answer:

A. Organisms, such as lions, use both individual and group behaviors to maximize their chances of survival and reproduction.
