Which color is described by the term 'maroon'?

A brownish-crimson color
An intense dislike or disgust
A type of large elephant
A temporary form of care

The correct answer is: A brownish-crimson color

The term 'maroon' specifically refers to a color that is a brownish-crimson, combining elements of red and brown to create a deep, rich hue. This term is often used in design, fashion, and art to describe this particular shade, which captures both warmth and depth. The other choices do not relate to color at all. One describes a negative feeling, another refers to an animal, and the last one pertains to a temporary situation regarding care. Understanding the distinct meanings of words and their applications helps to clarify why 'maroon' is accurately identified with the first description.
