Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The male and female cranes are communicating with each other through a series of coordinated moves that lead up to mating. This is not operant conditioning, altruism, or imprinting, as those terms describe different types of behaviors or relationships.

Therefore, choice D - communication - is the best fit for describing the behavior observed between the male and female cranes.
