Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that most social species have systems of communication that allow them to transmit messages to one another. While the complexity and intricacy of these communication systems may vary between species, they are still considered forms of social communication. Additionally, some non-vocal species, such as dolphins and bees, have also been found to have sophisticated communication systems. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect. Option D is incorrect as well, as there are some commonalities between human language and signaling systems of other animals, such as the use of sounds, gestures, and body language to convey information.
