the California quail adapted to live in the chaparral biome by crepuscular activity.
The word is derived from the Latin word crepusculum, meaning "twilight." Crepuscular is, thus, in contrast with diurnal and nocturnal behavior.

Answer;

B. crepuscular activity

Explanation;

Crepuscular animals are those that are active primarily during twilight. This is distinguished from diurnal and nocturnal behavior, where an animal is active during the hours of daylight or the hours of darkness, respectively.

The time of day an animal is active depends on a number of factors. Predators need to link their activities to times of day at which their prey is available, and prey try to avoid the times when their principal predators are at large.

Some creatures may adjust their activities depending on local competition.Therefore, for many varied reasons, crepuscular activity may best meet an animal's requirements by compromise.
