Solution

The correct option is A Dual purpose
The Nagpuri buffalo is a versatile breed of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra State and stands better amongst the breeds of buffaloes which combine the milk and drought qualities in a better proportion in adverse climatic conditions. The animals of this breed are very well adapted to the harsh-semi-arid conditions of Vidarbha region and can withstand extreme climatic conditions as high as 47º C even in respect of milk production and fertility. These buffaloes are used for heavy draught purpose and farmers prefer this breed due to its low maintenance cost, efficiency of feed conversion, moderate production and better adaptation to local climatic conditions. Therefore it serves dual purpose of milkers and draught cattle.
So, the correct answer is 'Dual purpose'
