Solution

The correct option is B Intelligent

The scrub jay trick is as follows, if it notices other birds watching, it buries its food as far away as possible and keeps reaching, over and over again, as if attempting to confuse the spies. As soon as it is on its own, it reaches its food one more time. This behavior shows the social intelligence as the bird is trying to hide its food from others smartly.
