Solution

The correct option is B Male donkey and female horse
Interspecific breeding occurs between genetically dissimilar parents of different species. A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. The organism is sterile in nature and not capable of exchanging the genes or interbreeding with each other.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
