Herd means some other meaning ya. Its not actually a group of animals. Its a person who looks after the group of animals. So how can this be the answer?

Herd is a group of animals of one kind kept of living together or a group of people with a common bond. That's a meaning of herd.

Herd means group of animals, herd is only related to animals, hoard means group which is related to human beings i.e. Hoard if humans, herd and hoard are homophones.

Actually swarm means a large group of insects (usually through the air) and so herd is only the correct option.
