Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inherited Behaviors Behaviors that are passed from parent to offspring are called instincts. Many animals are born with instincts that help them survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

The response depends on the choice the animal partakes in, when it is faced with danger that causes distress.
