Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Arrange the susceptibility to aflatoxin by domestic animals in descending order as Rabbit > Pig > Cattle > Sheep > Chicken.
Aflatoxins are toxins produced by the mold Aspergillus flavus that can grow on pet food ingredients such as corn, peanuts, and other grains. At high levels, aflatoxins can cause illness (aflatoxicosis), liver damage, and death in pets.
The susceptibility to aflatoxin by domestic animals is maximum in rabbits, then pigs followed by cattle, sheep and chicken respectively.
