A
innate bahavior
B
learned behavior
C
cooperative behavior
D
animal behavior
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In general, a learned behavior is one that an organism develops as a result of experience. Learned behaviors contrast with innate behaviors, which are genetically hardwired and can be performed without any prior experience or training. Of course, some behaviors have both learned and innate elements.

Detailed explanation-2: -This behavior is known as operant conditioning, which is a behavior learned through repeated practice to receive a reward or to avoid a punishment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The scientific definition of learned behaviour can be the learning process where you can auto-generate new responses to a situation the instant it occurs. An example is sight restoration for people who have been blind from birth. Such people may have seen nothing before, so they may have had no frame of reference.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, migrating birds use innate behavior to know when to begin their migration and the route that they should follow. Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences. By watching their mother, baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat.

Detailed explanation-5: -Instinct, imprinting, conditioning, and imitation are the four types of animal behavior.
