A. Ivory

B. Bone

C. Keratin

Answer:

C. Keratin

Rhinoceros are fascinating creatures, and one of the most interesting features about them is their horn. Contrary to popular belief, a rhinoceros' horn isn't made of ivory or bone, but rather keratin. Keratin is the same protein that makes up our hair and nails, as well as hooves in other animals. This tough protein helps protect the rhinoceros in its natural habitat and is incredibly strong.
