Explanation:

Question 1

The raccoon learned to pry open cans (a new behavior), so it's learned behavior. Inherited behavior is innate, carnivore is diet, "being smart" is not a scientific term.

In a food web, producers (like plants) get energy from the sun and are eaten by consumers. The box is connected to the sun, so it should be a producer. Consumers eat others, "Animal Number 5" is not logical, herbivores are consumers.

In food webs, arrows represent energy transfer (from one organism to the one it's eaten by). "Who is eating who" is about direction, but the key is energy. Metamorphosis and "liking" are irrelevant.

Answer:

d. learned behavior
