AThe tigress is known for his stripes.

BThe vixen is known for his cunning tricks.

CThe stallion is recognized for his strength.

DThe lion is known for her hunting skills.

Answer:

C. The stallion is recognized for his strength.

Read Explanation:

  • (C) The stallion is recognized for his strength. This sentence correctly uses masculine gender pronouns ('his') to refer to the stallion.
  • stallion - ആൺകുതിര
  • (A), (B), (D) all incorrectly use masculine or feminine gender pronouns for animals where they don't match (ലിംഗ സർവ്വനാമങ്ങൾ തെറ്റായി ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു).
  • A tigress, vixen, should be referred to with feminine pronouns ('her') and and lion should be used with 'his'.
  • tigress - പെൺ കടുവ
  • vixen - പെൺകുറുക്കൻ
  • lion - ആൺസിംഹം
