Answer:

A mutation that causes female pigs to have fewer offspring

Step-by-step explanation:

In the farming industry, more product is better. If cows produced more milk, farmers would make more money.

If sheep produced more wool, the farmers would profit.

If there was an increased crop yield, the farmers would benefit.

However, fewer pigs means less money, so that is the only possible answer.
