A bird catches and tries to eat a caterpillar. The caterpillar has a bad taste, so the bird lets the caterpillar go. The next time it sees the same kind of caterpillar, the bird avoids eating it. Which best describes this behavior? trial-and-error learned behavior trial-and-error instinct behavior conditioned reflex behavior conditioned inherited behavior

The correct option is trial and error learned behavior

Explanation:

A trial and error learned behavior is a type of behavior in which an organism attempts to or tries something new which makes it (the organism) accept the reality of that thing or situation. This means that if the attempt is successful or pleasurable, the organism will attempt it again and if it's not, the organism will avoid that thing.

This is what was described in the question with the bird trying to eat the caterpillar but found it unpleasurable which made it to start avoiding it afterwards.
