Answer:

C. I'm pretty sure this makes the most sense because "reined in" usually refers to controlling an animal such as a horse.

The best definition of the impatient cob here is given in option (D): " a crudely struck old Spanish coin of irregular shape."

What does it mean to have a cob on?

The soda phrase 'to have a cob on' was initially supposed to signify something derogatory, such as 'all high and mighty,' but it has since evolved to mean 'in a sour mood' or 'half-baked.'

This is a place where they define cob as, I turned around and reined in my irritable cob. The rickshaw had also wheeled around and was now facing me at the Combermere Bridge's left railing.

Therefore, option (D): "a crudely struck old Spanish coin of irregular shape" is the correct definition.
