Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that animals, such as pigeons, rats, and scrub jays, are sensitive to the passage of time. They have the ability to remember events that occurred in the past, and can anticipate future events based on their memory of time intervals. For example, pigeons can be trained to peck a key after a certain amount of time has passed, indicating that they have a sense of time. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they imply that animals are not capable of time perception and memory beyond short-term abilities.
