Explanation:

In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", the Headless Horseman (the horseman Ichabod encounters) is depicted as having no head. The other options (having a gun, having a scary face) do not align with the story's depiction of the horseman that causes Ichabod's horror.

Answer:

A. The horseman has no head.
