A) tactile signals
B) signal pheromones
C) priming pheromones
D) communication signals

Priming Pheromones

Chemical signals released by organisms to trigger a long-term behavioral or developmental response in other members of the same species.

Chemical Signals

Molecules released by organisms that influence the behavior or physiology of other organisms.

Long-Term Responses

Adaptations or reactions of an organism or system that occur or are implemented over an extended period.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Priming pheromones specifically refer to chemical signals that cause long-term responses in the receiver, such as changes in behavior or physiological processes. Tactile signals, acoustic signals, and communication signals do not necessarily have to be chemical in nature, and signal pheromones refer to a broader category of chemicals involved in communication among organisms.
