Cletisha Anderson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Reflexes are innate responses that are automatic and predictable. They do not require conscious thought or learning and are present from birth. Tropisms are directional responses to a particular stimulus, such as a plant growing towards the light. Instincts are complex behaviors that are also innate and can include mating rituals, migration, and parenting. Motor programs refer to coordinated movement patterns that are learned and performed without conscious thought, such as walking or swimming. Of the options given, reflexes best describe the built-in responses present in human and animal neonates.
