Solution

The correct option is A herbivores
Herbivores are animals that feed only on plants. E.g. Cow, deer, etc.
Animals that can eat plants, as well as other animals, are called omnivores. E.g. Bear, crow, etc.
Carnivores, on the other hand, are animals that only eat the flesh of other animals. E.g. Tiger, lion, etc.
Decomposers like fungi feed on dead and decaying organisms.
