While wolves may engage in aggressive displays towards each other over territory or dominance, it is not always a fight to the death. In many cases, the submissive wolf will back down and the dominant wolf will accept the submission without causing harm. However, it is possible for one or both wolves to be killed or severely maimed in a fight, making option B the least likely outcome.
