Explanation:

- The phrase "cock and bull story" is an idiom used to describe a story that is improbable and considered to be a made-up tale, often used to deceive.

- Option 1: Fox - While foxes are often associated with cleverness and cunning, there's no common phrase involving a "fox story" similar to "cock and bull story."

- Option 2: Wolf - "Wolf" is related to expressions like "cry wolf," but not directly related to improbable stories like "cock and bull story."

- Option 3: Cock - This is part of the idiom "cock and bull story," which means a fabricated or exaggerated story.

- Option 4: Rooster - A rooster is another term for a cock but isn't used in the same idiomatic expression as "cock and bull story."
