Explanation:

The context mentions "the ideal animal to hunt" and asks about the attributes of an "ideal quarry". In hunting - related contexts, "quarry" refers to the thing being hunted. Option A fits this as it is the animal that is hunted. Option B is incorrect as it is the hunter (not the hunted). Option C is wrong because it refers to the hunter (a person) instead of the hunted. Option D is about a desire, not the actual thing being hunted.

Answer:

A. animal that is hunted
