Read the following passages and using given options, answer the respective questions that follow them.

The elephant is a symbol of conservation. Due to rampant development, it is virtually impossible for them to roam without encroaching upon plantations, estates and villages. In this context, elephants are considered a nuisance. This is where the translocation team comes in. Elephants can be relocated from unwelcome territories to national parks. Wild elephants can be dangerous if threatened. So tamed elephants are brought along to give moral support to wild ones who are frightened, angry and confused at being captured and chained. Two working elephants flank a single wild elephant, touching it with their trunk, providing comfort and calm in a slow and delicate process. Usually, it is not the elephants that trespass into human territory. Rather, humans are the ones encroaching upon the elephant territory.

C)  Calm and soothe            

D)  chain them
