Solution

The correct option is D Mating of unrelated animals within the same breed
Selective mating of animals to produce offspring with desired qualities is called animal breeding.

It is of two types: inbreeding and out-breeding.

Inbreeding: Mating of more closely related individuals (having common ancestors) within the same breed.

Out-breeding involves mating of unrelated animals. It is of three types
  • Out-crossing: Mating of unrelated animals within the same breed that do not have common ancestors.
  • Cross-breeding: The superior males of one breed are mated with superior females of another breed.
  • Interspecific hybridisation: Mating of male and female animals of two different but closely related species.
Therefore, inbreeding : Mating of closely related animals within the same breed :: Out-crossing : Mating of unrelated animals within the same breed.
