The term that means of, or relating to cattle is which of the following?

• A. Galline
• B. Bovine
• C. Canine
• D. Feline

Answer: (B)

In veterinary terminology, terms built from Latin roots are used to describe specific species, and bovine is the word used for cattle. The root bov- comes from Latin bos, meaning cow, so you’ll see bovine in phrases like bovine respiratory disease or bovine udder—that’s the cattle-related usage. The other options refer to different animals: canine relates to dogs, feline to cats, and galline (though less common in standard English) relates to birds such as chickens. So bovine is the correct term for cattle.
