• B. Bison
• C. Snake

Hint:

In substitution questions, identify the real-world answer first (dog is a pet), then find what that object is called in the coded language (dog $\to$ lion).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This is a substitution question. In this coded language, the actual animal we keep as a pet (dog) is now called by another name.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
In reality, a dog can be domesticated as a pet. In this language, `dog' is called `lion'. Therefore, what is domesticated as a pet in this coded language is called lion.

Step 3: Final Answer:
Lion (because dog is called lion, and dog is the animal we domesticate).
