Explanation & Solution

Correct Option: (C) Social behaviour in some species of birds increases the odds of survival in an unsafe world.

The passage describes the social behavior of flamingos, including group mating dances and creches for protecting chicks. This suggests that social behavior in some bird species can enhance the survival of their offspring by providing protection and cooperative care. The passage does not claim that mass nesting is essential for all bird species or that only birds can develop social behavior. It also does not state that all bird species set up creches. [cite: 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76]
