Answer:

D. toxins

Explanation:

<u>Toxins are not microorganisms</u>, in fact they are non-living substances/chemicals which can cause infection in our body. Toxins may be produced by microorganisms but they are themselves not microorganisms. Some of the examples of toxins produced by microorganisms are botulinum toxin A, tetanus toxin A, muscarine etc.

Other options can refer to potentially infectious type of microorganisms. Option A. talks about microbes, among microbes some are pathogenic. Option B. talks about pathogenic, as the name indicates will be infectious for sure.

Option C. talks about nonpathogenic, it may be non pathogenic at a time but later on it can be pathogenic. For example: some vaccines use inactivated microbes which are non pathogenic for generating antibodies in the body but later on in the human body when they get optimum conditions for growth they can turn pathogenic and start infecting our body.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

c. recognize a member of their own species.

Explanation:

Imprinting is a form of social earning that occurs in a critical period based on early experience, in which an animal develop a sense of identity usually within few hours or days after birth.  

In birds, for example in ducks, once an egg is hatched, the ducklings imprints on the first moving object they see which happens to be the mother. In other to keep track of the mother, they learn to respond to a characteristic sound that have been emitted by the mother. Through imprinting, they are able to distinguish their mother from the rest of the ducks.  Imprintng helps birds to form an identity during early stage at birth, which helps them to recognize members of their own species.
