The farmers can use selective breeding to increase egg production by choosing chickens that lay the most eggs (option a). By only breeding chickens that are already proven to be prolific layers, the farmers can gradually increase the overall egg production of their flock over time. This breeding strategy focuses on the desired trait of high egg production and selects individuals that exhibit this trait, leading to an increase in the number of eggs laid by the next generation of chickens.
