Solution

The correct option is A Three times more than cows
Indian buffaloes are important source of milk supply today and yield nearly three times as much milk as cows. The average annual milk yield of a buffalo is 491 liters as against 173 liters of a cow in India.
More than half of the total milk produced (55%) in the country was contributed by the 47.22 million milch buffaloes, where as the 57.0 million cows contribute only 45% of the total milk yield. Hence, option A is correct.
