The factors that make dairy cows a good choice for artificial selection are:

  1. The cows vary in the amount of milk they make.
  2. The amount of milk cows make is an inherited trait.

These two factors indicate that there is genetic variation in milk production, which is essential for artificial selection to work effectively. The other options related to diet and consumer demand are relevant for the dairy industry but do not directly relate to the principles of artificial selection.
