B. The set of behavioral processes that occur as part of the general adaptation syndrome, the response of the body to a strong, stressful stimulus.
C. Any process in which an organism has a behavioral effect on another organism of the same or different species.
D. Behavior that is dependent upon the sensation of temperature.
