The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


- Step 1: The spider web analogy is used to illustrate an instinctive behavior - something done without learning or training.
- Step 2: Bees collecting nectar is also instinctive behavior that bees are biologically wired to do, without formal instruction.
- Step 3: A kitten learning involves training or experience. A donkey carrying a load and a horse running a Derby are imposed or trained actions.
- Step 4: Only option (2) matches the instinctive, natural behavior being discusse(d)
