An example of courtship behavior is a peacock raising its feathers.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Courtship behavior can include things like food delivery, dance moves (displays), and mutual preening. In many cases, the most extravagant courtship displays belong to the species where males contribute little else to the relationship-think strutting grouse or dancing birds-of-paradise.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the peacock species, males congregate a communal display during breeding season and the peahens observe. Peacocks first defend their territory through intra-sexual behaviour, defending their areas from intruders. They fight for areas within the congregation to display a strong front for the peahens.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, peacocks use their feathers to attract peahens (female peacocks). The peacocks with the showier feathers are able to attract mates, so they are the ones that have offspring, and pass on the fancy-feather genes to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-4: -They not only fan out those spectacular tail feathers-called a train-to tempt pea hens, but they also shake them in a behavior called train rattling.
