Correct Answer
B. MuleExplanation
When a donkey and horse are crossed, a mule is created. Mules are the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). They inherit characteristics from both parents, such as the donkey's strength and endurance, and the horse's size and speed. Mules are known for their intelligence and hardiness, making them valuable working animals. They are sterile and cannot breed, which is why they are commonly used as pack animals rather than for reproduction.Rate this question:
