• D. Light fowl

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A broiler is a chicken (male or female) that is specifically bred and raised for meat production. They are slaughtered at a young age, typically between 6 and 10 weeks, once they have reached a target market weight, which fits the description given in the question. A capon is a castrated male, and a rooster is a mature adult male.
