If abnormal animal behavior is defined as a deviation from normal behavioral characteristics, what elements define normal animal behavior?

An animal's genetic predispositions only
Learned behavior
Any characteristic that is defined as "desirable" behavior
The sum of genetic traits and environmental factors

Explanation

Answer: D - The sum of an animal's genetic traits and environmental factors defines normal behavior. An animal is programmed, to some degree, by its genetic predispositions. External forces, such as learned behavior and the environment that the animal lives in also play a role in determining normal (and abnormal) behavior.
