Solution

The correct option is C Bos indicus milch breed and Bos taurus, general utility breed
A breeder will cross a Bos indicus, milch breed and a Bos taurus general utility breed.The Bos indicus have humps on their shoulders and are of Indian origin. Bos taurus on the other hand does not have humps and are of European, North American origin. Milch breeds are reared by breeders only for milk, while draught breeds are reared so that the bulls of this breed can be used for work. The cows of this breed are poor milk producers. The general utility breed can be used for milk and also draught animals.
