Which of the following is a characteristic of a pedigreed rabbit?

A pedigreed rabbit is defined by its lineage and ancestry, which is documented and can be traced back through several generations. This characteristic is essential for breeders and those involved in rabbit shows, as it ensures the rabbit's heritage and helps maintain breed standards. Knowing the rabbit's ancestry allows for informed breeding practices, including avoiding inbreeding and highlighting desired traits.

While unique fur patterns may be present in some breeds, having distinctive fur is not a definitive characteristic of being pedigreed. Additionally, the size of a pedigreed rabbit can vary widely depending on the breed and does not inherently dictate whether it is pedigreed or not. Being of show quality is also not guaranteed solely by having a pedigree; show quality is determined by adherence to breed standards, which can vary and may not always align with pedigree status. Thus, recognizing the lineage and ancestry as the defining feature makes option B the correct choice.
