Solution

The correct option is D interspecific hybridisation
Equus africanus (donkey) and Equus ferus (horse) belong to two different species. So, crossing them is interspecific hybridisation.

When breeding is between animals of the same breed within a species, it is called inbreeding, while crosses between different breeds of a species is called outbreeding.
