Read the paragraph.

Opossums defend themselves in several ways. Their first response to danger is to frighten the intruder by pretending to be ready to attack
The opossum will crouch, show its teeth, hiss, growl, screech, and sometimes give off a foul-smelling odor. When the attack bluff fails, the opossum
will "play dead." The muscles become rigid, the tongue hangs out, and the opossum drools. Once the danger passes, the opossum becomes active
again.
Which behavior will an opossum use to defend itself after another response has failed?
01. gives off a foul-smelling odor
2. becomes rigid as in death
d
3. hisses, growls, and shows its teeth
04. attacks the intruder
