Explanation:

Question 43

Spay is the surgical removal of ovaries and uterus (usually in female animals). Neuter can be a general term but spay is specific for female reproductive organs removal. Castration is for male testes removal. Dystocia is difficult labor. So the correct option is B.

Removal of testes in male animals is called castration, but among the options, Neuter (sometimes used for male sterilization, though castration is more precise, but from the given options, Neuter is the closest as Estrous is a cycle, Heat is estrous, Palpation is a technique). So the correct option is C.

Estrous is the receptive phase of the reproductive cycle (when female is receptive to mating). Gestation is pregnancy, Ovulation is release of egg, Progesterone is a hormone. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

B. Spay
