The function of courtship behavior for an animal is to attract a mate of the same species. Courtship behaviors are typically specific actions or displays performed by an animal to signal its availability and to attract a potential mate. These behaviors often involve visual displays, vocalizations, or specific movements that communicate information about the individual's health, strength, or genetic fitness to potential mates. Courtship behaviors can also play a role in pair bonding and the establishment of a reproductive partnership between individuals of the same species. To determine the correct answer to the question, we can eliminate options A, B, and C since they do not accurately describe the function of courtship behavior. Option D, which is to attract a mate of the same species, aligns with the known purpose of courtship behavior and is therefore the correct answer.
