Final answer:

The Pronghorn (B) is the ungulate found in Alberta that is not a member of the deer family, distinguishing it from Caribou, Moose, and Elk which are all deer family members.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to identify which ungulates (hoofed animals) found in Alberta are not members of the deer family. Ungulates include various mammals that use their hoofs to sustain their whole body weight while moving. Among the options provided:

  • Caribou (A) are members of the deer family.
  • Moose (C) are large members of the deer family.
  • Elk (D) are also members of the deer family.
  • The Pronghorn (B), however, is not a member of the deer family. It's actually more closely related to giraffes.

Therefore, the answer to which ungulate is not a member of the deer family found in Alberta is B) Pronghorn.
