Solution

The correct option is C Liquid nitrogen
Artificial insemination is a globally accepted method of breeding cattle and is also effective for other species. Semen can be stored deep-frozen in liquid nitrogen, in a chilled liquid form or at room temperature. Its low temperature of $- 196^{0}$ C and inert caracteristics prevent the deterioration of biological quality. Hence, option C is correct.
