1. Conditioning is a behavior in which a response becomes more frequent or predictive to a particular action or environment as a result of reinforcement.
2. Imprinting is considered to be the kind of phase-sensitive learning that is very fast and does not depend on the consequences of behavior.
3. Instinct is a type of behavior that is genetically present and is considered to be the response of a particular stimulus like fear from a snake.
4. It is a behavior in which the human try and copy others things.

Since instinct behavior includes violence and ablility to kill each other inorder to protect itself, it is considered to be more hazardous.
So the correct option is 'Instinct'.
