Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the behavior of the vervet monkeys described above?

Vervet monkeys have a strong instinct for gathering food in diverse locations
Male vervet monkeys exhibit more territorial behavior during certain seasons
Different monkey communities have specialized dietary preferences
Vervet monkeys use alarm calls specific to different predators

The correct answer is: Vervet monkeys use alarm calls specific to different predators

The behavior of the vervet monkeys, as described in the passage, involves using distinct alarm calls specific to different predators. This behavior can be best explained by option D because it directly relates to the monkeys' behavior of giving different alarm calls based on the type of predator perceived in the vicinity. By using specific alarm calls for different predators, the vervet monkeys are demonstrating an advanced level of communication and adaptation to their environment, which helps them effectively warn others in the group about potential threats. This behavior enhances the survival chances of the group as a whole, making it the most plausible explanation for the behavior described in the passage. Options A, B, and C do not directly relate to the behavior of using different alarm calls specific to different predators as described in the passage, making them less relevant in explaining the behavior of the vervet monkeys.
