    A) a horse

    Explanation:

    Bay is a color that is related to the hair color of horses. This name is given to horses that have brown body and horsehair in the black color as well as the tail, the edges of the ears and the legs.

    Cleveland Bay is a horse breed that originated in England during the 17th century, named after its coloring and the Cleveland borough of Yorkshire. It is a well muscled horse, with legs that are strong but short in relation to the body. The horses are always in bay color, although some light hairs from the mane and tail are characteristic of some race lines. It is the oldest, established breed of horse in England, and the only non-draft horse developed in Britain.
