Solution

The correct option is B I, II, III are true

Birds living in nature mostly lay eggs seasonally. They stop laying additional eggs to incubate the eggs already present in the nest. These birds display yearly breeding cycles. The hypothalamic signalling and subsequent hormonal response cause the ending of the breeding season in wild birds.

Domestic chickens can be considered as continuous breeders. These captive birds can be made to lay eggs throughout the year. In this case, laying eggs is not related to reproduction but is commercial exploitation for human welfare.
