All words could be used, but C is the "best" choice.

Grown and Cultivated are more commonly associated with plants or flowers.
Bred is more commonly associated with animals

" insegrievious " it rather is an adjective coined via Gary Owens, a l. a. radio and television character whom you will have considered on the main present day Emmy Awards application. He became the announcer from giggle-In with the excellent deep voice. The "coolest" element approximately this word is that it may mean regardless of you prefer it to intend and it rather is cool sounding too !

I think that you had better go back to the dictionary again.

The only one that will work here is C. Raised

I don't like any of them. The answer should be "reared".

Grown and cultivated relate to vegetables and raised and bred relate to livestock :)
