Question 10 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following is an example of kin selection?

Answer
A
A wolf attacks its cousin over territorial rights.
B
A snake eats the eggs of another snake.
C
A badger attacks a bear who was foraging for food.
D
A bobcat fights a wolf to protect younger bobcats.

Explanation

Kin selection occurs when an animal helps or protects relatives, increasing the chance that shared genes are passed on. A bobcat fighting to protect younger bobcats is an example if those young are its relatives. The other choices describe territorial conflict, predation, or competition for food, not helping kin.
