Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The best age for dehorning is 1 week.
Dehorning is the process of removing the horns of livestock. Cattle, sheep, and goats are sometimes dehorned for economic and safety reasons.
It can be performed on older animals and is normally performed with local anesthesia by a veterinarian or a trained professional. Removal of larger horns is usually performed during spring and autumn to avoid the fly season.
