Question from Official Guide to IELTS

Hi guys,
Could you please help me with this question?
I assume D is the closest answer, but I don't see how the text is explaining a behavior. I see it more as a study of an animal's body.

'Behavior' is a complex concept. I spent two graduate years studying animal behavior. The explanation I have given you above is a very brief one, yet it covers more than a dictionary will.

Thank you very much. Your first explanation was suffice. I'm sure I would remember that forever, but I was quite curious to see the meaning myself.
