Solution

The correct option is B Courtship signalling
During the courtship, animals produce signals to communicate with potential mates and with other members of their own sex. A behaviour exhibited by one sex to attract the opposite sex is called courtship signalling. Many courtship signals are species-specific to help animals avoid making errors in mating.
