Explanation:

To determine the correct term for a horse's coat with a reddish - brown body and black mane, tail, ear tips, muzzle, and legs, we analyze each option:

• "Paint" horses are characterized by large patches of white and another color, not the described pattern.
• "Roan" horses have a mixture of white and colored hairs evenly distributed over the body, which is different from the given description.
• "Bay" horses have a reddish - brown (chestnut - like) body with black points (mane, tail, legs, ear tips, muzzle), which matches the description.
• "Dun" horses have a yellowish or tan body with a darker dorsal stripe and other primitive markings, not the black - and - reddish - brown pattern described.
