The behavior that is both territorial and used for courtship is dance rituals with potential partners. To arrive at this answer, we can analyze each of the provided responses:
1. Defending a nest from predators: While defending a nest is territorial behavior, it is not directly related to courtship.
2. Dance rituals with potential partners: Dance rituals are a behavior commonly observed in courtship displays, which indicates that this behavior is used for both territorial purposes and courtship.
3. Baring teeth as a sign of aggression: Baring teeth is a display of aggression and territorial behavior, but it is not directly linked to courtship.
4. Sparring or wrestling using antlers or horns: This behavior is often observed in animals during territorial disputes, but it is less related to courtship.
Therefore, the correct answer is "dance rituals with potential partners" because it encompasses both territorial behavior and courtship.
