The correct option is A animal husbandry, plant breeding

Application of biological principles for technological advancement has contributed immensely in enhancing the food production.
Biological principles include the real life application of the principles of biochemistry, microbiology and physics applied to the study of food production, processing and preservation. Biological principles as applied to animal husbandry and plant breeding have a major role in our efforts to increase food production.

Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture that deals with the rearing and breeding of domesticated animals called livestock. This practice includes feeding, shelter and health care of animals for getting maximum benefits in terms of quality and productivity for human welfare.

Animal breeding deals with producing improved breeds (a group of related animals) of domesticated animals by selective mating.

Hunting refers to activity of chasing and searching birds or wild animals with the intention of killing or capturing for food, hide or other products.

Plant breeding is the manipulation of plant species to incorporate the desired characteristics such as higher yield, nutritive value and resistance to diseases, into the crop plants.

Tissue culture is a technique of growing plant tissue or cells in an artificial medium, separately from the parent plant. This technique is used in plant breeding for research and development of better crop plants.
