Answer 1

Hint: Husbandry is the process of breeding, caring, and farming by humans for their advantages. Animal husbandry is a part of agriculture. Under animal husbandry dogs, horses, cats, sheep, bees and fishes are bred. Because of this we ensure the disease-free growth of all animals which are farming. It also provides proper food and good shelter for the animals. It is the major income for all farmers. Farming, livestock farming and animal raising are the other names for animal husbandry.

Complete answer:
Option A: Capture of wild animals means capturing the animals and birds by using the traps. Sometimes it is dangerous to the living beings. Some of the animals will die because of the traps. Some types of living traps are cage trap, net trap, foothold trap, and multiple capture traps. So, by the live trapping the animals cannot be harmed. They are captured for research studies, population regulation activities and disease control programs.
Hence option A is incorrect.
Option B: Domesticating animals and keeping them for our own use means adapting the animals for human use. Some of the domestic animals are also used as medicine. Bones, horns are also used in the making of expensive things. Keeping animals in farming gives the social and moral responsibilities to the humans. So some of the animals are farmed called husbandry and output from them is used by the humans.
Option B is the correct answer.
Option C: Taming the wild animal is the process of making the wild animals friendly to the human from avoiding the attack. By giving training to the animals they are friendly with humans and do not attack or fear from humans. In wild animals, park animals are tamed so they do not get fear from humans.
Option C is incorrect.
Option D: None of the above. Animal husbandry is the process of saving animals and making them for our own use. So it is not a correct answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Because of husbandry animals get hygienic food, fresh water, and the safest shelter. It can’t be attacked by other animals. Types of animal husbandry are dairy farming, poultry farming, fish farming and bee farming. Sea fishes are highly expensive economically. Because they have a lot of nutrients, protein and vitamins.
