C is right. Identifying the location of the animal at the zoo would help in monitoring the animal over the next few days. the zoo authorities should be informed to report any notable incidents in the identified animal's health or behavior that could guide furthur mnagement. hope i am clear....

I think the answer should be D~
We r taking care of the pt, not the animal. and Q said no high risk of rabies~, so the symptoms that appear in the pt should be more important.

this is a weird question. Since the stem directs towards rabies. Then yes if your concerned about rabies. The first thing you do is quarantine the animal for 10 days and monitor for any changes. If there are any, then you kill the animal and do a brain biopsy to confirm the dx.
but there are so many other diseases that animals carry in their saliva, which can transfer to humans if bitten.
I would have picked C
