Options:

Right Answer: cub
The young one of a bear is called a 'cub'. English has separate words for the young ones of different animals, and these are commonly tested in vocabulary questions. 'Cub' is used for the young of a bear, lion, tiger, fox and wolf. A 'calf' is the young of a cow, elephant, whale or buffalo; a 'fawn' is the young of a deer; and a 'foal' is the young of a horse, which is further called a colt if male and a filly if female. Hence the correct answer is 'cub'.
