The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Induced breeding is done to obtain seed outside natural season.
Step 2: Synthetic GnRH analogues like Ovaprim or Ovatide are commonly used as they stimulate pituitary gonadotropins to induce spawning.
Step 3: Insulin and thyroxine have no role. Melatonin influences seasonal cycles but not directly used for induction.
