Number 2 but I am not sure sorry dude
Correct answer - A (Elephants have few offspring, so they need to protect them from predators.)
Why? - The herd is led by the oldest and often largest female in the herd, called a matriarch. They live in herds so that the young elephants stay safe from predators.
Wild animals always show preference for mates. Its part of the continous cycle of producing survivals and offspring. Even plants do it in their own way. Hope i was hhelpful?
