A.
Brown
B.
Yellow
Answer
C.
White
D.
Black

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
American chicken breeds skin colour is Yellow.
The American class includes the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Java, Dominique, Rhode Island Red, and Buckeye.
A gene for yellow skin, for instance, was incorporated into domestic birds through hybridization with the grey junglefowl. Domestic chicken in the Americas before Western contact is still an ongoing discussion, but blue-egged chickens, found only in the Americas and Asia, suggest an Asian origin for early American chickens.
