Solution

The correct option is C Summer season
Sheep are found mostly in hilly and cold regions. Sheep shearing is done in summer season because they can survive without their thick protective coat of protective hair in the summer season. If shearing is done in winter season, the sheep might die due to the severe cold. The thick coat of hair keep them warm and trap the heat inside their body in the winters. So, shearing is done in summer season only.
