Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Imprinting in wild birds is crucial for their immediate and long-term survival. For example, precocial baby birds (such as ducks, geese, and turkeys) begin the process of imprinting shortly after hatching so that they follow the appropriate adult, who keep them safe.
