b.
live solitary lives unless feeding when they bunch together for protection; short legs and necks so predators have harder time holding on when attacked; stripes so they blend in with their surroundings
c.
live in families and travel in large numbers for protection; sharp teeth for defense; develop stripes as they mature to better blend in with the herd because they are provided less protection from their parents

Zebras live and travel in groups for safety, their stripes help confuse predators (and may aid other functions), they can run up to about 40 mph, and they can bite and deliver powerful kicks with their hooves to defend themselves.
