Solution

The correct option is D Inbreeding
Inbreeding refers to the mating of two closely related individuals within the same breed for 4 to 6 generations. Superior males and females are first selected and then mated in pairs. A superior female cow is one which produces more milk per lactation while the superior male is a bull which gives rise to superior progeny. Inbreeding increases homozygosity.
