Predatory Drift describes which scenario?

Explanation:
Predatory drift is when a dog’s arousal rises and the dog shifts from pursuing a typical prey item to perceiving another dog as prey, causing pursuit or predatory behavior toward that dog. The described scenario—sudden arousal causing one dog to regard the other as prey—best captures this escalation and misattribution of prey toward a conspecific. The other scenarios don’t show that shift: chasing a ball is chasing an inanimate object, not another dog; a calm sit reflects low arousal; and dogs sharing water is a neutral, social interaction.
