On a cattle farm of 200 animals, a disease occurs at an incidence of \(5\%\) per year if no control is applied. A vaccine reduces the incidence by \(60\%\) and costs \(\text{₦}15\) per animal per year. An alternative biosecurity measure reduces the incidence by \(40\%\) and costs \(\text{₦}8\) per animal per year. Treatment of an infected animal costs \(\text{₦}200\). Assuming the incidence after control is applied uniformly across the herd, which control method gives the lower expected total cost per animal per year? State the method.

Answer Options

A. No control
B. Vaccine
C. Both methods
