Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Animals use pheromones for various purposes such as reproductive readiness (to attract mating partners), species recognition (to identify members of the same species), gender recognition (to distinguish between males and females), and danger (to warn others of potential threats). Therefore, option E ("reproductive readiness, species recognition, gender recognition, and danger") is the best choice as it includes all the possible uses of pheromones by animals.
