Detailed Solution

  • Then, we needed to identify the womanish counterpart of the given noun, i.e. captain. 
  • Option A: Liona isn't a word in the English language, hence is an incorrect choice. 
  • Option B: "Lionine" is not a word in the English language, so it is the incorrect option.
  • Option C: Lioness is the feminine form for the lion, so it is the correct answer. The womanlike form of the lion is made by adding a suffix at the end of the word, the suffix is “- ess ”, while keeping the “ n ” in captain. 
  • Now, option D, she- captain, while the prefix “ she- ” is used in womanlike forms of some nouns, like wolf becomes “ she-wolf ”, it's incorrect in the case of “Lion”, because that isn't the correct form.
  • Hence, option C is the correct answer.
