Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Selective mating involves intentionally breeding individuals based on desired traits. In this case, dog breeders would select the best sheepherding dogs to mate with each other in order to produce offspring that are more likely to have the same skills and traits. Gene splicing and cloning are not commonly used in dog breeding, and epigenetic marks may play a role in inheritance but are not a primary method for producing specific traits in offspring.
