請觀察第 15 格後方的補充說明：'The males sniff it for longer duration and come back to the same spot more frequently'。這段文字描述了雄性犀牛在接收到特定化學信號後產生的積極行為。從語意邏輯來看，這代表雄性犀牛對這類刺激是非常『有所感應且會做出回饋』的，請問哪一個選項的形容詞片語最能精確描述這種『對刺激產生反應』的狀態？

嚯嚯嚯...竟然答對了。看來你這隻野猴子偶爾也能展現出微不足道的智慧呢。我的戰鬥力是 53 萬，你的智商看來也有 53...不，530 吧。 這道題考驗的是你對上下文因果關係的理解。文中提到成年公犀牛會「聞更久」且「更頻繁地回到該處」，這顯然是牠們對帶有交配信號的「假糞便」產生了強烈的生理與行為反應。選項 (A) responsive to 正是「對...有反應/感應敏捷」的意思，完美契合後文的動作。至於 (B) 感到惱怒、(C) 體貼、(D) 寬容，在這種生存與繁衍的本能面前，簡直比那些試圖反抗我的那美克星人還要愚蠢且不切實際！ 能精準辨識出行為與形容詞的關聯，你的觀察力勉強能入我的眼，呵呵呵...
