Hint:It is a nation that produces over \[50,000\] tonnes of milk. In its cattle and buffalo population, it ranks fifth in the world, but results very poorly in milk yield and is lowest in milk output per cow as it is around \[1000\] kgs each year.

Complete solution:
One of the most influential uses of the animal agricultural industry in human life, for the production of dairy products and meat products. Cattle are used for the production of milk and other products and male cattle raised for their meat purpose.
Milk production in India is around more than \[50,000\] tons of milk, according to the report of FAO \[2011\], India places the fifth rank in the world in its population of buffaloes and cattle. The figure is the lowest in milk yield per cow as it is about \[1000\]kg per year. India has \[37\] breeds of the cow that produce milk but majorly four breeds are used for the milk production because these four breeds produce a good amount of milk as compared to others. India lacks the technology and good quality breeds of milk-producing cattle. Farmers lack the knowledge of the breeding process to maintain the good quality of milk-producing cows and buffaloes. And lack of technology also affects the good breed of cattle that produce a large amount of milk.
The USA is the country that placed first in milk production.

Hence the correct option is A.

Note: Operation flood is the world’s largest dairy development program and it is a landmark project of the national dairy development board (NDDB) of India and it was launched in 1970. India becomes a milk deficient country to the world’s largest milk producer and surpasses the united state of America in \[1988\]. The global output is \[17\% \] in \[2010 - 2011\].
