Solution

The correct option is B artificial insemination

Animal breeding refers to the normal breeding/ mating of animals to improve the breed. It helps in increasing the yield (milk or meat) of animals and improving the quality of offspring.

Artificial insemination is a technique utilised for controlled breeding. The semen is collected from a superior male and injected into the reproductive tract of the selected female artificially in this method.

Out-breeding is the process of breeding unrelated animals, which may be of the same breed but do not have a common ancestor for 4-6 generations or between different breeds or between different species.

Inbreeding refers to the mating of more closely related individuals within the same breed for many generations.
So, the correct answer is artificial insemination.
