Solution

The correct option is B Lesser investment
Goats are known as the "poor man's cow" because they require lesser investment and are cheaper to rear. Goat rearing is prominent in dryland farming systems that depend on the annual rainfall because, in such marginal lands, goats are the best alternative to other types of cattle like cow or buffalo.
