Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The concept is based on sexual imprinting which results from selection for recognition of conspecifics.

Sexual imprinting is the mechanism by which a young animal discovers the properties of a desired mate. Male zebra finches, for example, tend to favor mates with the presence of the female bird rearing them, rather than that of the birth parent when they're special.

A female zebra finch select a male that resembels her father with a red feather taped to his head for reprodcution because there are sufficient opportunity of sexual imprinting.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

​why is it that bottle-feeding a baby in developing nations has so much potential to be disastrous to the baby's health
Butoxors [25]

It is dangerous to the baby bottle feeding because of the only water available to prepare formula is often contaminated, which can lead to diarrhea, dehydration, and/or death.  This may also bring the risk for the babies especially when the bacteria develop and contaminate the feeding bottle.
