ox - headed horses had wide, broad bodies. their heads were large. their small ears were set far apart. these horses were strong and high - spirited. they were the kind of horses that were used by soldiers in war.

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. Option A ("tired and slow") is the opposite of what a war - horse should be. Option B ("very loud") has no relation to the horse's nature for war. Option D ("hard to find") is also irrelevant. Option C ("full of energy") fits as energetic horses would be suitable for soldiers in war.

Answer:

C. full of energy.
