The correct option is B imprinting
Imprinting is a type of animal behaviour where the young ones soon after their birth develops an emotional attachment with the first object it sees. It may be an offspring, human or its own parent. Ducklings follow the first moving object and treats it as their mother. This is an example of imprinting.
