Answer 1

Answer:

A cat develops a unique pattern of movement in order to get a reward that is highly consistent, but a different cat will have another consistent movement pattern for obtaining the reward. This is an example of adjunctive behaviors.

Option: (A)

Explanation:

• The cat that chooses to behave differently has actually devised the act of the other cat as a unique expression for indicating that it is seeking the reward.
• This disparity between the behaviors of both the cats is inconsistent because the other cat believes that a display of behavior that is unique to itself would fetch a reward. This kind of behavior is referred to as adjunctive behavior.
