Question

The birds/hens in captivity (as in poultry farms) can be made to lay eggs throughout the year. In this case, laying eggs is related to

• A. reproduction
• B. commerical exploitation
• C. human welfare
• D. both b and c

Answer 1

The correct option is D both b and c

Birds in captivity can be made to lay eggs throughout the year by hormonal treatment even without the presence of a male. Such eggs are infertile and do not hatch even if incubated. Hence, it is not a method of reproduction but a commercial exploitation for human welfare as humans can eat these eggs.
