Answer 1

The correct option is D Exotic breeds have long lactation period.

The exotic breeds are introduced in the place of the native breeds and they are preferred for their qualities. The exotic breeds are known to have high milk yielding capacities due to long lactation periods compared to the native breeds. This is the reason that the exotic breeds are reared more rather than the native species.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
