Solution

The correct option is B Nocturnal
Nocturnality is a feature of organisms that means they are active during the night and sleep during the day time. They have a high sense of hearing, visual and smell e.g., bat, cat and owl.
Diurnal organisms mean the organisms that are active during the daytime like humans .
Cursorial refers to the organisms that run fast like the horse and wolf. It does not relate to the day and night activity it is related to running.
Arboreal are the animals which spend their most of the time on trees.
So, the correct answer is option B.
