The correct answer is: B) easy to breed.

In order to be domesticated, animals must have been selectively bred by humans for at least 12 generations. Some of the elephants were successfully bred, but they were not bred selectively for the traits desirable by humans. It is because selective breeding of elephants is impractical due to their long reproductive cycle.
