Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Small pig receiving an injection

Explanation:

In veterinary medicine and related fields, there are specific procedures and protocols for holding animals, this varies according to the type of animal and the procedure needed. For example, hamsters should be grabbed from the skin that is in the back of their necks. In the case of a pig, it should be held by lifting its rear legs and keeping the front legs touching the ground while the pig's head is between your legs. This position works especially for piglets during a general examination, as well as other procedures such as injection as this position guarantees you have control over the pig (it cannot run), and also keeps both the human and pig safe. According to this, according to the procedure describes you are probably holding a small pig receiving an injection.
