The correct answer is: B) Buffaloes.
Buffaloes are the most common livestock animal in Madhya Pradesh, accounting for over 50% of the state’s livestock population. They are used for milk, meat, and draft power. Buffaloes are well-adapted to the hot and humid climate of Madhya Pradesh, and they are able to thrive on the poor quality of grazing land that is available in many parts of the state.
Cattle are the second most common livestock animal in Madhya Pradesh, accounting for around 30% of the state’s livestock population. They are used for milk, meat, and draft power. Cattle are not as well-adapted to the hot and humid climate of Madhya Pradesh as buffaloes, and they require better quality grazing land.
Goats are the third most common livestock animal in Madhya Pradesh, accounting for around 15% of the state’s livestock population. They are used for meat, milk, and hides. Goats are able to thrive on poor quality grazing land, and they are less susceptible to disease than cattle or buffaloes.
Sheep are the least common livestock animal in Madhya Pradesh, accounting for around 5% of the state’s livestock population. They are used for meat, wool, and hides. Sheep are not as well-adapted to the hot and humid climate of Madhya Pradesh as goats, and they require better quality grazing land.
