The correct answer is B. Vixen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In English, nouns that indicate gender often have specific masculine and feminine forms. The masculine noun for this animal is fox, while its feminine equivalent is vixen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is \u2018Vixen\u2019 the Correct Answer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word vixen has been used for centuries to specifically refer to a female fox. Other options like \u201cfoxess\u201d and \u201cfoxen\u201d are incorrect because they do not exist in standard English grammar, while \u201cshe-fox\u201d is an informal descriptive term rather than the proper noun form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

English generally does not assign gender to nouns, except in cases of living beings where separate words exist, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact About the Word “Vixen”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
