D Correct answer
Explanation

Giraffes are born with ossicones - bony horn-like structures covered in skin and fur on their heads. These are present at birth and continue to grow throughout their lives. Unlike true horns, ossicones are made of bone covered in skin and are never shed. Other hoofed animals like deer grow antlers later in life, and rhinoceros horns develop after birth.
