Solution
The correct option is D learned behaviour and habituation
Different behavioral patterns and learning abilities can be observed in the living organisms. The withdrawing of the body into the shell on the dropping of the marble was a response to the stimulus. When this stimulus was used repeatedly, the snail got used to this behavior and as a part of the learning and habituation, the withdrawing of the body into the shell was weaker.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
