C Correct answer
Explanation

 Reason: Broilers are raised for the production of meat. Poultry farming is undertaken to raise domestic fowl for egg production and chicken meat. Therefore, improved poultry breeds are developed and farmed to produce layers (hens that lay eggs) for eggs and broilers for meat. Care is taken to avoid mortality and to maintain feathering and carcass quality.
