Question

horses: a mature male is called ______. options: a gelding, a cheval, a stallion or stud, a colt

Explanation:

To determine the correct term for a mature male horse, we analyze each option:

• "A gelding" is a castrated male horse, not a mature intact male.
• "A cheval" is the French word for "horse" (noun), not a term for a male horse.
• "A colt" is a young male horse, not a mature one.
• "A stallion or stud" refers to a mature, intact male horse, which matches the description.

Answer:

A stallion or stud
