Answer 1

artificial selection. a specific characteristic must have been chosen by the farmer. e.g. an offspring laying several big eggs

Answer 2

The correct answer is Artificial Selection.

Artificial Selection can be defined as the method by which one can artificially select the male or female of superior quality to breed.

This increases the productivity by intentional reproduction. Here, the chicken which lays most eggs has been selected to breed with the rooster.

This will result in a chick of superior quality that will probably lay more eggs as compared to that of other chickens present there.
