Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Inbreeding strategies allow the desirable qualities of more closely related individuals to be continued within the same breed for `4-6` generations. It increases homozygosity and thus, in necessary for evolving a pure line. Continued inbreeding, especially close inbreeding usually leads to reduce fertility and even productivity. This is called inbreeding depression.
