The correct answer highlights goats that are specifically bred and managed for the production of meat, milk, and mohair. These are generally considered dual-purpose goats, which combine qualities for both meat and dairy production alongside fiber production.

Goats categorized under meat production include breeds like Boer goats, which are primarily raised for high muscle yield and meat quality, while dairy goats focus predominantly on milk production. Fiber goats, on the other hand, are bred mainly for their fiber yields, such as cashmere from Cashmere goats or mohair from Angora goats, but do not typically serve the same purpose in meat or milk production.

Angora goats specifically produce mohair, which is a luxurious fiber but also do not represent a type of goat used prominently for meat or milk. Thus, while there are distinct categories of goats—dairy, fiber, and meat—the option reflecting the combination of attributes for multiple types of production is the one recognized for versatility in all three areas: meat, milk, and mohair.
