Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Rooting behavior is instinctual in pigs, and animals are likely to drift back to instinctual behaviors, which can interfere with learning.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) refers to preparedness, which would improve the pig’s learning, not interfere with it. So, option (A) is incorrect.

Option (B) refers to learned helplessness, which is unrelated to the rooting behavior which is interfering with the pig’s learning. So, option (B) is incorrect.

Option (C) refers to taste aversion, which is unrelated to the rooting behavior which is interfering with the pig’s learning. So, option (C) is incorrect.

Therefore, the options (A), (B), and (C) are incorrect.
