Solution
The correct option is C Milkmaid
A milkman is a man who delivers and sells milk.
Option C: A 'milkmaid' is a woman who milks the cows and does other work
at the dairy. It is the most suitable option as being the feminine form of the masculine noun 'milkman'. Hence option C is correct.
Options A and B: The words 'milkgirl' and 'milklady' do not exist in standard English language. Hence these options are incorrect.
