When the question is about makeup and one choice is an Eddie Murphy movie (The Nutty Professor), his movie is a likely answer.

In at least 6 of his movies, he has played several characters, including women and old men:
• Norbit (2007): Norbit/Rasputia/Mr. Wong
• Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000): Professor Sherman Klump/Buddy Love/Cletus ‘Papa’ Klump/Young Cletus Klump/Anna Pearl ‘Mama’ Jensen Klump/Ida Mae ‘Granny’ Jensen/Ernie Klump, Sr./Lance Perkins
• Bowfinger (1999): Kit Ramsey/Jeffernson ‘Jiff’ Ramsey
• The Nutty Professor (1996): Professor Sherman Klump/Buddy Love/Cletus ‘Papa’ Klump/Anna Pearl ‘Mama’ Jensen Klump/Ida Mae ‘Granny’ Jensen/Ernie Klump, Sr./Lance Perkins
• Vampire in Brooklyn (1995): Maximillian/Preacher Pauly/Guido
• Coming to America (1988): Prince Akeem/Clarence/Randy Watson/Saul

500: easy

1,000: easy

2,000: easy

3,000: easy

5,000: easy

7,000: The Nutty Professor was the only one of the four that came out in 1986.

So I'd be facing 10K with all three lifelines intact.

There are smaller animals with tails, brains and fur, plus deer have hooves. So go with D.
