Question

communication between animals can take a number of forms: auditory, visual, tactile, or chemical. a lions roar and a birds song are both forms of auditory communication, as the animals use sound to broadcast information to other animals. animals are using visual communication when they use bright colors to warn predators or attract mates, as when a male peacock displays the brightly colored feathers of his tail. tactile communication, or communication via touch, is commonly used between animals for bonding purposes; mothers hold their babies to comfort them, and apes groom each other to establish friendships. finally, animals use chemical communication when they mark territory with their pheromones. other animals can pick up on these chemical communications as scents or even sometimes with their tongues as \tastes.\ which term matches the picture? image of a green snake with its tongue out options: auditory communication, visual communication, tactile communication, chemical communication

Explanation:

The text explains that chemical communication in animals involves marking territory with pheromones, and other animals can detect these chemicals as scents or tastes (using tongues, as the snake in the picture is doing with its tongue). Auditory uses sound, visual uses colors/visual cues, and tactile uses touch—none match the snake’s tongue - based detection of chemicals. So the term matching the picture is chemical communication.

Answer:

chemical communication
