Detailed Solution

  • There is no specific word for a male or female elephant like we've got for the other animals, e.g., lion, lioness. 
  • So, there's no feminine or masculine for the word elephant. The male elephant is termed a bull or bull-elephant. 
  • Therefore, the feminine elephant would be the female of a bull i.e., cow or cow-elephant. So it is the correct answer. 
  • Option A, she-elephant is wrong in context to bull-elephant. 
  • Option C, lady-elephant is inaccurate too as lady is the feminine variety of gentleman and is employed for humans. 
  • Option D, hen isn't used for feminine of the bull (male elephant is termed bull) so it is also an incorrect answer.
  • Hence, option B is the correct answer.
