Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "high - spirited", we analyze the context. The excerpt says the horses were "strong" and used by soldiers in war. Soldiers need horses with energy. Option A ("tired and slow") is the opposite. Option B ("very loud") doesn't relate to a horse's spirit. Option D ("hard to find") is irrelevant. Option C ("full of energy") matches the context of strong war - horses.

Answer:

C. full of energy
