Selective breeding (artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits by choosing the particular animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.
Progeny testing is a breeding program where the genetic information on an animal for selection comes from the performance of its progeny. It is most commonly used for animal breeding in order to determine the true breeding value of an animal mostly in males as they are used extensively for the propagation of best germplasm.
Using the selective breeding, progeny testing and similar techniques, there is a large enhancement in improving the cattle commercially and economically.
So the correct option is 'cattle'.
