Hint: A true or false is a statement whether the given statement is correct or incorrect. Gender is a noun type. There are three types of genders for nouns: masculine, feminine, and neuter.

Complete answer:
The gender of a noun, pronoun, or adjective is determined by whether it is masculine, feminine, or neuter. The gender of a word may have an impact on its appearance and behaviour. Depending upon the animals the name of the male and female names of animals differs. For example – in the deer family, especially the red deer, they have different names. The male deer or male rabbit is called a buck whereas the female deer or female rabbit is called a doe or hind. Likewise in animals, it varies. Example: Male chickens are called roosters and females are called hens.

Option A) Yes - The female gender of 'Buck' is 'Doe'. This sentence is correct. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
Option B) No - as the correct lies in Option A as explained earlier that the female gender of buck is a doe. Though this sentence is true or yes. So, we cannot consider option B as the correct answer. Therefore, this option is an incorrect answer.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Some horned mammals, such as fallow deer, roe deer, reindeer, and antelopes, have males called buck. Doe refers to the adult female of various mammals such as deer, rabbits, and kangaroos. So, option A is the correct answer because ‘the female gender of ‘buck’ is ‘doe’.

In humans, masculine (m) and feminine (f) varies with relationships. Example: uncle (m) and aunt (f). nephew (m) and niece (f) and son (m) and daughter (f).
