Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The buffalo is commonly known as an Asian animal.
The buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), also called the Asian water buffalo, is a large bovid originating in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
The skin of the river buffalo is black, but some specimens may have dark, slate-coloured skin. Water availability for buffalo is important in hot climates since they need wallows, rivers, or splashing water to assist in thermoregulation.
