Answer:

The correct answer is Selective Breeding.

Step-by-step explanation:

Biotechnology refers to the technological application (techniques, methods and processes) used by living organisms or derived from them to create or modify products for utilitarian purposes. For years, humans have used selective breeding in order to have better livestock production and optimize their land/cultivation. Selective breeding is a biotechnology application that consists of the intentional selection and mating of parents with desirable traits, that is, it's an artificial process through which new races have been developed, setting certain desired traits or characters in a given population ( plants, animals ...) in order to reproduce such characteristics.
