Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Yak

The correct answer is Yak.

  • Yak is used for transport in Tibet.
  • Yak, long-haired, short-legged oxlike mammal that was apparently domesticated in Tibet but has been introduced where there are people at elevations of 4,000–6,000 metres (14,000–20,000 feet), mainly in China but also in Central Asia, Mongolia, and Nepal.
  • Yaks’ lung capacity is about three times that of cattle, and they have more and smaller red blood cells, enhancing the blood’s ability to transport oxygen.
  • Domesticated yaks number at least 12 million and were bred for tractability and high milk production.
  • The dried dung of the yak is the only obtainable fuel on the treeless Tibetan plateau.
