Answer:

2.) sparring or wrestling using antlers or horns

Step-by-step explanation:

Territorial behavior is defined as the animal behavior in which animals protect their territory from other species.

Courtship behavior is defined as the animal behavior that is involved in mating and eventual reproduction.

Sparring or wrestling using antlers or horns is both territorial and used for courtship. Many animals or males uses their antlers or horns for wrestling or to fight with other animals to protect their territory while some males are involved in ritualized mating behaviors that include antler wrestling (sparring). The loud vocalizations during antler wrestling show the dominance of males that females and leads to mating.

Hence, the correct answer is "2.) sparring or wrestling using antlers or horns".
