Answer 1

The correct answer is - C. no longer takes from them, instead of living off of berries, roots, and nuts he finds nearby.

Step-by-step explanation:

Creatures or any organism learn from their behavior and actions and result or outcomes of their actions. Outcomes influence the frequency or keep doing these actions. Positive outcomes increase the frequency of the actions whereas negative outcomes lead to decrease or inhibit such actions.

In this question taking food from food storage is the negative outcome as it causes suffering to the creature which will prevent them doing it and found other sources.
