Solution
The correct options are
C Scent
D Speed
There are three main ways a deer defends itself from predators: scent, hooves and antlers. Deer are commonly mistaken as defenseless creatures because of their natural grace, calm demeanor and outward appearance. Hunters prize these creatures. The hide, meat and antlers of adult bucks make deer worthy of the hunt. One on one, without a weapon, a deer will win in a fight, especially a full grown buck that feels threatened. Fight or flight are the options for most deer when a predator attacks or threatens them. Often the flight option is chosen as a natural instinct. A deer can run up to 40 miles an hour.
