The correct answer is D) gathering food.

Caching or hoarding food, is a behavior characteristic for squirrels during winter. They usually do this by putting their food in a shallow hole which will serve as food when resources are scarce in winter. Also, squirrels maximize their food consumption and body mass making the reserves that will help the animals survive.
