C
Correct answer
Explanation
Moose (Alces alces) are the largest extant species in the deer family Cervidae. Adult males can stand over 2 meters tall at the shoulder and weigh between 500-700 kg. This makes them significantly larger than elk, which are sometimes confused with moose but are considerably smaller.
