Solution

The correct option is C Cow
An ox is a bull who has been castrated.
Option C: The female form of the noun 'bull' is a 'cow'. Hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Bullock' is another name for an 'ox', which is a castrated bull. It's not feminine.
Option B: 'Mare' is an adult female horse.
Option D: 'Vixen' is a female fox.
Since these words are not feminine forms of the noun 'ox', options A, B and D are incorrect.
