The correct answer is:
Ants use grouping for cooperation, and elephants use grouping for protection of the young.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the behaviors and characteristics of ants and elephants. Ants primarily use grouping to cooperate and work together as a colony. This allows them to engage in complex tasks such as foraging, building nests, and defending their territory. By working together, ants are able to accomplish tasks that would be impossible for individual ants to carry out.
On the other hand, elephants primarily use grouping to protect their young. Elephants live in social groups called herds, which are typically led by an adult female known as the matriarch. The herd provides protection and support to the young elephants, ensuring their safety from predators and other threats. Additionally, elephants in a herd can also help each other find food and water in their natural habitat.
Therefore, while both ants and elephants use grouping for their survival, ants mainly benefit from cooperation within their group, while elephants rely on their group for the protection of their young.
