Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Nocturnality is a feature of organisms that means they are active during the night and sleep during the day time. They have a high sense of hearing, visual and smell e.g., bat, cat and owl. Diurnal organisms mean the organisms that are active during the daytime like humans .
Cursorial refers to the organisms that run fast like the horse and wolf. It does not relate to the day and night activity it is related to running.
