Answer 1

The correct option is D To save food for future use.

$\bullet$ Scrubjay is a bird that gathers food and stores it for future. This bird is afraid that other birds might steal the food. So, it hides the food at different places.
$\bullet$ This food that is hidden might sometimes be stolen by other birds and scrubjay might not find it when required. This is an example of intelligent behaviour shown by birds.
