OPTIONS

(B) Medication with anti-tubercular drug
(C) BCG vaccination to calves

ANSWER

(C) BCG vaccination to calves

Selective breeding and drug treatment are not standard eradication strategies, while BCG vaccination interferes with surveillance and is generally not used in cattle eradication programs.
