Answer:
Imprinting
Step-by-step explanation:
Imprinting occurs when a certain organism develop a preference to certain types of objects or subjects after being exposed to them for a long period of time (just like goats who grow up preferring female goats that represent their mother).
The exposure and positive feeling that the male goats have with their mother made them believe that female goat who resemble their mother have the same positive characteristic as their mother.
