Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: upon

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) upon šŸ“š Explanation: 'Upon' is used instead of 'on' when there is a sense of motion or a sudden upward and forward movement onto a target. Since jumping involves dynamic action and a shift in position onto the prey, 'upon' is the grammatically precise choice. 'On' is generally reserved for things that are already in a stationary position on a surface.
