Answer 1

The correct option is B

Buffaloes are intolerant to hot weather whereas cows are tolerant to hot weather.

In India, cows and buffaloes are used for dairy purposes. Cows are tolerant towards the hot weather of India whereas buffaloes cannot withstand the effects of the temperature in India. This is why you often see buffaloes submerged in ponds to cool themselves but cows don't do that.
