Answer:

Option C, Cat

Step-by-step explanation:

All wolf, coyotes and dogs belongs to the same genus “Canis”

Wolf belongs to “Canis Lupus” species, Coyotes belong to “Canis Latrans” species and dogs belong to “Canis Familiaris”

All these three species are some where connected to each other and thus they can breed among themselves to produce coywolf, wolf dog, coydog etc.

Cat belongs to Genus Felis. Its biological name is Felis catus and thus has no evolutionary linkages with wolf, coyote and dog.

Thus, option C Cat is least like the other three i.e wolf, coyote and dog
