Detailed explanation-1: -Innate behavior comes from an animal’s heredity. An animal’s instincts are examples of its innate behavior. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Instinct is a type of animal behaviour that need not be learned. A spider does not learn how to spin its web. It is born with the knowledge of web spinning. So, it is an instinctual behaviour.
Detailed explanation-3: -The spinning of the web by spiders is considered an instinctive behaviour as it will spin the same web at any given time and environment without being trained for the shape of web.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is A Instinct. An instinct is the ability of an animal to perform a behaviour the first time it is exposed to proper stimulus. The main reason spiders spin webs is to catch their food. When an insect, such as a fly, flies into a spider’s web, it gets stuck on the sticky threads.
