Explanation:

Correct Option: (c) Explanation: Both statements are correct Boma Technique The Boma capturing technique is popular in Africa. It involves luring animals into an enclosure by chasing them through a funnellike fencing. The funnel tapers into an animal selectioncum-loading chute, supported with grass mats and green net to make it opaque for animals, which are herded into a large vehicle for their transport to another location. Recently, Africa’s Boma technique was undertaken at Keoladeo National Park in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district. It was undertaken for capturing chitals or spotted deer and translocating them to Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve, so as to improve the prey base. The translocation of herbivores would reduce preying upon rural cattle, sheep and goats around the tiger reserves.
