What colour do hearing dogs wear?

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing how service animals are identified by their clothing, which helps people know what kind of help they provide and to avoid distracting them. Hearing dogs, trained to assist people who are deaf or hard of hearing, are typically identified by wearing a burgundy jacket. This color signals to others that the dog is working in a support role and that the handler may rely on the dog to notice and relay auditory signals.

Other colors aren’t universally used to identify hearing dogs in all programs, though some organizations may use different color schemes for other types of service dogs (for example, green, blue, or yellow in various contexts). In the material this question draws from, burgundy is the standard color associated with hearing dogs.
