  4. Respiratory distress
Explanation
Answer: D - Anxiousness, flaring nostrils, abnormal posture with extended head and neck, and reluctance to move are signs of respiratory distress in a horse. This condition can be particularly dangerous in cases with severe anxiety because horses can be prone to unpredictable and panicked behavior and sudden death. For their own safety, clients should never be allowed to restrain horses in respiratory distress.
