The correct answer is C. Signalment

Step-by-step explanation:

In medicine especially in veterinary medicine, the word "signalment" refers to the medical history of an animal and the features related to it, this includes the age, species, breed, sex, reproductive status and other features that play might provide clues about a possible diagnosis or the state of health in the animal. Because of this in veterinary medicine, the signalment is the first information that should be considered as certain breeds are prompt to certain illnesses and also age and reproductive status have and influence on health. Considering this, age, gender species, etc describe the animal's signalment.
