Answer:
(A) Unscathed (meaning: without feeling pain, or unharmed)
Step-by-step explanation:
The use of unscathed fits with the tone and direction of the sentence. It is intended to show that the animals were not the only ones suffering. The other three options don't have a clear connection with the statement that the animals had many injuries. Contrived, Censured, and Rash do not connect with the initial idea.
