Solution

The correct option is B Imprinting
If Geese reconginzes a ringing bell as mother if exposed to it during a critical period shortly after hatching, it could be called as 'imprinting'. Imprinting is a type of behaviour in which an organism behaves in the same way to which it is exposed immediately after birth. The first object viewed or heard by an organism is recognized and gets imprinted in the mind.
