Which term indicates the side opposite the near side?

• A. Front
• B. Right
• C. Left
• D. Rear

Answer: (B)

In horse terminology, near side refers to the horse’s left side, typically the side the rider sits on. The side opposite the near side is the right side, often called the off side in clinical or handling contexts. So the term that indicates the opposite side is right. Front and rear describe front/back positions, not lateral sides, and left is the near side, not the opposite.
