Trivia Answer

The wide-set eyes of bulldogs primarily serve as a protective feature, making option c) the most accurate answer.

This characteristic evolved as a result of selective breeding for fighting purposes in the breed's history. The positioning of the eyes, set far apart on the broad, flat face, helps protect them during confrontations with other dogs or when grappling with large prey.

This arrangement reduces the risk of eye injuries by keeping them away from the central area of impact.

While this feature may have aesthetic appeal to some, it was not intentionally bred for looks but rather for functional protection in the breed's original working role.
