The correct option is A i-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b

i) IMITATION : It is a type of animal behaviour where one animal copies the behaviour of others. E.g., Chimpanzees clap their hands on seeing humans clap.
ii) INSTINCT : Instinctual behaviours need not be learned. They are present by birth. Making nest by birds, web-spinning by spiders, etc., are examples of instinctual behaviours shown by animals.
iii) CONDITIONING : It is learned behaviour. Students reacting differently to school bell rung at different times is an example of conditioning.
iv) IMPRINTING : Young animals soon after birth follow the things in their immediate surroundings. This is called imprinting. Ducklings recognising their mother is an example of imprinting. They follow their mother to all places.
