Solution

The correct option is A Outcrossing and cross breeding
Outbreeding is the breeding of the unrelated animals, which may be between individuals of the same breed or between different breeds or different species. Crossbreeding is the method in which superior males of one breed are mated with superior females of another breed. Cross-breeding allows the desirable qualities of two different breeds to be combined. Outcrossing is the method in which there is crossing between individuals of different breeds. Due to outbreeding, variation among the species is seen.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
