Excerpt from new nevada palominos enlisting in the u. s. marines us dept. of the interior--carson city field office marine corps gunnery sergeant ivan collazo sanchez and two additional marines will be at the wscf in dress blue uniform to take possession of the new horses, the latest generation of wild horses to be utilized by the marines for the mounted color guard. in order to use more precise language, the underlined phrase, "take possession of the new horses" in sentence (1) should be changed to a) adopt the horses b) steal the horses c) inspect the horses d)

The correct answer is: Option A. Adopt the horses.

Given the context in the excerpt stating the individuals that would be "taking possession of the new horses" are official U.S. Marines, it can be inferred that this practice will take place within legal bounds, and therefore "stealing the horses" is out of context in this case. The intent of this activity is to use the horses as part of the Marines' activities, and as such, it is clear the Marines are planning to "adopt" the horses, not "borrow" them.
