Solution

The correct option is B
Apis dorsata

Low cost of maintenance and management is a desirable characteristic for good profits in poultry farming. Chickens must have a increased tolerance to temperature variations. This allows them to be bred in many parts of the country. The feathers of the chicken are of no commercial use. Chicken with desirable characteristics are selected for cross-breeding.
