B Correct answer
Explanation

Horses were not native to the Indian subcontinent and were likely introduced from Central Asia around 2000 BCE. In contrast, tigers, elephants, and the one-horned rhinoceros are all native species that have existed in India for thousands of years. This is evidenced by their depiction in ancient Indian art and historical records.
