please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

A prediction is a statement about what will happen in the future. Option A suggests monitoring aggressive chimpanzees during meal times or when fed separately. This is a prediction as it is a statement about an action (monitoring) that should be done based on the context of chimpanzee behavior. Options B and C are statements about existing behaviors and associations (chimpanzees' behavior when threatened, chimpanzee associating food - stealing with aggression). Option D is about a cause - effect relationship (giving better food supplies decreasing aggression). Only option A is a forward - looking statement (a prediction) about what should be done (monitoring).

Answer:

A. Aggressive chimpanzees should be monitored during meal times or fed separately from other chimpanzees.
