Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Research on insight learning has found support for the existence of both human and animal insight learning, suggesting that animals are also capable of solving problems through sudden realization and understanding. Studies have shown that various species of animals, including apes, birds, and rodents, have demonstrated insight learning without being explicitly taught by humans. However, there is debate and ongoing research regarding the extent of animals' ability to experience insight compared to humans. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because they are either false or have no empirical support.
