Solution

The correct option is D Artificial insemination
In artificial insemination, the semen is collected from the male that is chosen as a parent and injected into the reproductive tract of the selected female by the breeder. So the above given process is a type of artificial insemination.
Cross-breeding - involves the mating of animals from two breeds.
Interspecific hybridisation - is the interbreeding between individuals of different species
Multiple ovulation embryo transfer technology - is the most common procedure used in advanced cattle breeding. It involves a 5 week superovulation program, resulting in several eggs being released from the donor cow, as opposed to one during a natural heat.
