What does in breeding mean for rabbits?

  1. Breeding rabbits of different breeds

  2. Breeding unrelated rabbits

  3. Breeding rabbits that are closely related such as father to daughter

  4. The initial breeding in a rabbit's life

The correct answer is: Breeding rabbits that are closely related such as father to daughter

In breeding refers to the practice of breeding closely related individuals, such as father to daughter, mother to son, or sibling to sibling. This can result in an increased genetic similarity and inbreeding depression, which can lead to health problems and decreased fitness in offspring. Breeding unrelated rabbits (option B) can help prevent inbreeding, while breeding rabbits of different breeds (option A) does not necessarily indicate inbreeding. Option D is incorrect as it is referring to the first instance of breeding in a rabbit's life, not the practice of in breeding.
