Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A supernormal stimulus is an exaggerated version of a naturally occurring stimulus that elicits a stronger response than the normal stimulus. In this case, the larger egg is a supernormal stimulus for the bird, as it is larger than the normal egg and thus elicits a stronger preference or response.
