What does the term 'stifle' refer to in rabbits?

  1. The tail

  2. The ear

  3. The knee, connecting the thigh to the leg

  4. The nose

The correct answer is: The knee, connecting the thigh to the leg

Stifle refers to the joint in rabbit's hind legs that connects the thigh to the leg, also known as the knee joint. This is an important joint for rabbits as it allows them to hop and move around effectively. Option A, the tail, is incorrect as it is not a joint and does not affect a rabbit's mobility. Option B, the ear, is also incorrect as it is not a joint and does not have a direct impact on a rabbit's movement. Option D, the nose, is also incorrect as it is not a joint and has no relation to a rabbit's mobility. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
