Answer: A

The term ‘cattle’ is coined for and generally used for cows (Bos idicus), bull (Bos taurus) and buffaloes (Bos bubalis).

Animal Husbandry related to cattle is done for the below mentioned purposes:

  1. Milk Production: Female cows and buffaloes (milch animals) produce milk.
  2. Agricultural Work: Bull is used for ploughing the fields, transporting agricultural produce and breeding purposes.
  3. Meat Production: Cattle including cow, bull and calf are commercially bred for meat production such as Beef and Veal.

Egg production is done by hen (Junglefowl) which do not fall under the category of cattle and are broadly classified under Poultry Farming.

Hence, the correct option is A.
