Answer: Horse.
The idea
Body-part analogies test vocabulary more than logic. Read the pair in both directions to be sure of the relation.
Shortcut. A hoof is a mammal's foot, which rules out bird, fish and snake at once: 'Horse' is the only hoofed creature.
Common trap. "Bird" — the only other option that walks on feet, but a bird's feet end in claws, not hooves.
