Solution

The correct option is A Both B and C
Artiodactyla is an order possessing cloven-hooved mammals. Generally, they are ruminants but some non-ruminant members are Pigs and Hippopotamus.
Ruminants are the animal whose stomach is divided into four compartments and one of them is rumen which helps in the microbial fermentation of the ingested food. Since pig and hippopotamus do not contain rumen, they are not ruminants.
The answer is "Both B and C".
