The cows were not producing enough milk and they also stopped lactating when the calf was not nursing. Not available at the right time. Not producing as much as required. Not belonging to any place or process Correct Answer Only B

The correct answer is Option 2, i.e. Only B.

The word ‘producing’ means ‘to make or generate’. The word ‘enough’ means ‘adequate’ or ‘sufficient’.

Therefore, the phrase ‘not producing enough’ when put together means ‘not producing the adequate amount that is required’ or ‘not generating the sufficient amount that is required’.

The only option that carries a similar meaning is b, making Option B, i.e., ‘Not producing as much as required’, the right answer
