A) young chicks isolated at hatching will not know how to do this.
B) it is probably not "hardwired" in the brain as a behavior passed on genetically.
C) there must be a great advantage to reaching this food source for this learned behavior to be repeated by most descendants of each generation.
D) All of the choices are correct.
