Answer:

The correct option is B) A rat scurries past, and a python strikes at it.

Step-by-step explanation:

A stimulus can be described as any thing or event which is detected as a signal and a response is generated by the body of the organism for that signal. In the scenario discussed in option B)The passing of the rat acts as a signal for the python. In response to the signal, the python generates a response by striking the rat. Hence, it is an example of a stimulus and the accompanying response of an organism.
