The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question describes a method where a cow is administered hormones with FSH-like activity to induce follicular maturation and superovulation. 2. **Identifying Key Terms:** - **Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH):** A hormone that plays a crucial role in the maturation of ovarian follicles in females. - **Superovulation:** A process that stimulates the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the usual single egg during the ovulation cycle. 3. **Explaining the Process:** - In this method, the cow receives hormones that mimic the action of FSH. This administration leads to the maturation of multiple follicles. - Instead of the normal one egg being released, the cow can produce around 6 to 8 eggs due to the induced superovulation. 4. **Further Steps in the Process:** - The multiple eggs produced can then be collected and transferred to a surrogate mother. - The surrogate mother is then artificially inseminated to ensure the eggs can develop into embryos. 5. **Naming the Technique:** The entire process described is known as **Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET)**. This technique is widely used in cattle breeding to maximize progeny yield. 6. **Final Answer:** The method described in the question is called **Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET)**. ---
