Solution

The correct option is A Interspecific Hybridization
Hybridization is the crossing between two animals of different species to produce a new variety called hybrid. The crossing between two different species of the same genus is called interspecific crossbreeding. Horse and donkey belong to the same genus Equus. A mule is obtained by a cross between a male donkey and female horse. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
