Solution

The correct option is D Livestock
Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer is the method in which the mother is superovulated to obtain a high number of superior organisms. This is a common practice in the cattle and livestock. The mother is injected with the hormone FSH which results in the production of many eggs which are removed surgically and then in vitro fertilisation is performed. The fertilised eggs are cultured till the 16-32 celled stage and then implanted into the uterus of the surrogate mother.
Thus, te correct answer is option B.
