Solution
The correct option is D Abomasum
The ruminant stomach has four compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum.The abomasum is the true stomach where the cow's own enzymes and acids break down the ingested feed. Rumination is the process by which the cow regurgitates previously consumed feed and masticates it a second time.
