Solution

The correct option is B Andhra Pradesh
Ongole cattle are indigenous to the Andhra region in the Prakasam district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The breed derives its name from the place name, Ongole. Some also refer to this breed as Nelore cattle as this area was once a part of Nelore area. The bull, Bos indicus, is in great demand as it is said to possess resistance to both foot and mouth disease and mad cow disease. These cattle are commonly used in bull fights in Mexico and some parts of East Africa due to their strength and aggressiveness.
