Which of the following countries has the maximum production of milk per cow?

A Netherlands
B Great Britain
C Denmark
D India

Correct answer: (c) Denmark

Explanation

  1. A

    Netherlands

    The Netherlands has a strong dairy sector and high-yield Holstein herds, but it is not this paper’s keyed maximum per-cow producer. Dutch output is a near distractor, not the official letter.

  2. B

    Great Britain

    Great Britain has intensive dairying and recorded high yields, yet the stored first rank is not Britain. Do not equate a famous dairy country with the keyed maximum.

  3. C

    Denmark

    (c) Official key: Among the listed countries this paper keys Denmark for the highest milk production per cow. Danish dairying is textbook-famous for yield, cooperative processing and breeding. That is the official choice here.

  4. D

    India

    India leads the world in total milk output (Operation Flood, buffalo-cow mix) but not in yield per animal. Using the national-total rank as per-cow rank is the trap. India is therefore not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c). The stem asks maximum milk per cow, not the largest national milk lake. Denmark is the keyed high-yield country. The Netherlands and Britain are strong dairy peers but not the stored letter. India’s volume leadership must not be read as per-animal leadership. Honour Denmark.
