Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A mule is produced by the interspecific hybridisation between male donkey and a female horse (mare). In interspecific hybridisation, male and female animals of two different related species are mated. In some cases, the progeny may combine desirable features of both the parents, and may be of considerable economic value.
