This question was posed to me during an internship interview.

Question is taken from Dairy Farm topic in portion Pastuerization of Milk and Long Life Milk of Dairy Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) with the grain of the hair

Easiest explanation: Rule of thumb is never clip against the grain of the hair. An ear should be clipped with the direction of hair growth while holding the ear firmly, with the ear flap laying flat on your fingers.
