Which word that formerly meant animal, and later animal from Lat

Which word that formerly meant animal, and later animal from Latin and beast from French found their way into English?（ ）
A、Deer.
B、Cattle.
C、Sheep.
D、Bird.
【正确答案】：A
【题目解析】：大量借词的涌入也引起了一些词的意义变化。deer原义为动物，后来animal一词从拉丁语借来，beast一词从法语借来，三个词是同义的，于是animal保持原义，deer词义缩小，beast的词义改变了色彩。​
