Thank you so much @corywonglaw921
A is irrelevant. The argument is concerned with breeding wild species to become domesticated species. A talks about breeding domesticated species to become wild species. You'd have to make very large, unjustified assumptions to connect these two.
C weakens the argument because it provides evidence that casts doubt on the possibility of the conclusion. The argument states that all animals can be bred for domesticity by selectively breeding animals with tame traits. Answer choice C says that certain animal species do not display tameness. The implication is that we cannot breed for domesticity by selecting for tame traits in certain animal species because those traits don't exist in the first place. Thus, this conflicts directly with the argument's conclusion that all animals can be bred for domesticity by selecting for tame traits.
