Answer
D.

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Diluent for preservation of buffalo semen is Citric acid whey.
Citric acid is a superior diluent for the preservation and freezing of buffalo semen. Samples of the semen from each bull were placed in each diluent.
Citric acid plays a vital role in the liquefaction of seminal fluid and thus has an indirect effect on the motility of the sperm and the eventual fertility of the male.
