Donkeys, however, tend to be smaller than horses and zebras, although a donkey is stronger than a horse of the same size. They make great packing animals and can handle tougher terrain than horses. Donkeys also need less care. Their hooves do not need to be shoed, and they require a less-delicate diet, making them superior work animals in many instances.

B
Horses are much larger animals than donkeys.
C
Horses are easier to care for than donkeys.
D

Explanation
The passage says donkeys can handle tougher terrain than horses and need less care, making them superior work animals in many instances.

Choice A is inaccurate because the passage says horses and donkeys are both related to zebras, not that zebras are a type of horse.
