Q 
A tourist was choosing a statue from a range available in a souvenir shop. A goddess and a warrior were carved from cedar and were slender, but the goddess was polished and the warrior rough hewn. There were a number of animal statues to look at. An oak statue of a slender giraffe, polished and smooth, took her fancy. There were two squat statuettes, an oak elephant with a polished finish and a cedar rhinoceros which was rough-edged. A polished cedar Buddha was well done but it looked a bit fat. In the end, the tourist asked for something in polished cedar, squat, and it had to be an animal. What did she choose?
Available Options
A.	The giraffe
B.	The elephant
C.	The rhinoceros
D.	The Buddha
E.	None of these
