B Correct answer
Explanation

Black bears are naturally afraid of domestic cats and will climb trees to escape them. This surprising fact is documented in bear behavior studies - the sudden movements and small size of cats trigger the bears' instinctual fear response. Domestic dogs, horses, and tigers don't elicit this same reaction from black bears.
