Final answer:

An example of selective breeding is breeding a cow with a bull who produces large muscular baby bulls.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of selective breeding is d. breeding a cow with a bull who produces large muscular baby bulls. Selective breeding involves intentionally mating individuals with desired traits to produce offspring with those traits. In this case, breeding a cow with a bull known to produce large muscular offspring would be a method of selectively breeding for size and muscle mass.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Selective breeding is when you a breeding 2 organisms in order to make a specific trait be passed down to the offspring. Since you the offspring in this scenario have larger muscles, this is selective breding because you are "choosing" a trait. A and B don't mention specific traits, and C is wrong because you can't garuntee that the offspring will win a race. D is the most logical choice
