C Correct answer
Explanation

 As more branching increases the bulk of the crop, it ensures good vegetative growth. Options 1 and 2 cannot be the answer as dwarfness is not preferred for fodder crops. Dwarf (small) varieties do not have long roots and therefore, receive fewer nutrients as compared to varieties with long roots which can fetch nutrients from long distances. Option 4 cannot be the answer as little branching will not increase the bulk of the crop.
