Answer 1

Answer:

B-Anxiety

Explanation:

Behavior: "the way in which an animal or person acts in response to a particular situation or stimulus"

Eating is a behavior.

Sleeping is a behavior.

Crying is a behavior.

Anxiety is more like a reaction to stress than a behavior that we need to do.  I mean, you could say anxiety is a behavior but it is mostly classified as a characteristic or trait instead.  You could respond to taking a math test be showing anxiety.  But you could also be reacting to the announcment that your teacher might've made.
