Identify the verb from the given statement:

A hunter shot a deer from a distance.

 

Option A is correct because "shot" is an action word and a verb. Actions or doing words are verbs. The shot is a verb that shows the status of the subject. Option B is not correct because "deer" is the name of the animal; hence it's a noun. Option C is also wrong. After all, the hunter defines the person, so it's not a verb.
