Solution

The correct option is A Keratin (hair)
Members of the rhinoceros family are characterized by their large size; an herbivorous diet; a thick protective skin; relatively small brains for mammals this size (400-600 g); and a large horn. The horns are made of keratin, the same type of protein that makes up hair and fingernails.
