Question

what makes territorial behavior an effective strategy for achieving reproductive success? (1 point)
territories ensure food availability
territorial behavior helps gain needed resources
territories impress potential mates
territories increase predator protection

Explanation:

Territorial behavior can impress potential mates as it shows an individual's ability to secure and defend a space. This can be an attractive trait, increasing the likelihood of successful reproduction. While food availability and resource - gaining are important for survival in general, they are not directly tied to reproductive success as closely as impressing mates. Increased predator protection is more about survival rather than reproduction.

Answer:

Territories impress potential mates
