Darius is observing a family of geese, which includes a male goose, female goose, and several goslings. When a dog approaches the geese, the male goose hisses at the dog and flaps its wings threateningly.

Is the behavior of the male goose an example of an adaptation?

A. Yes, because the behavior is inherited and helps the goose and its offspring survive.
B. Yes, because the behavior is a response to another animal.
C. No, because adaptations are body structures, not behaviors.
D. Maybe, depending on whether or not the dog attacks the geese.
