An example of instinctive behavior is?

Question

a moth circleing a candle

b jumping rope

c blinking

d a knee jerking

e nest bulding

Answer 1

definitely nest building and a moth going around a candle.  Jumping rope is learned and blinking and knee jerking are reflexive.  Animals are born knowing how to build nests and moths always go toward the light since they were born.

Answer 2

Since you still haven't gotten the right answer, then I'll tell you.  

A.  is the only instinctual behavior and is a taxis.  

B. is a learned behavior

C & D are reflexes

E can either be instinctual or learned (chimpanzees build sleeping nests, but nobody would argue this is not instinctual, but a learned behavior).  Since a species is not mentioned (as in moth) then you cannot give an answer either way.

Answer 3

Blinking is an instinctive way to protect the eyes.

Answer 4

nest building
