Answer 1

The correct option is D Both (b) and (c)

• Continuous feeders: That must "eat" constantly because the food is taken in and then pushed out soon afterwards are called continuous feeders. Most of these animals either are permanently attached to something (such as clams or mussels) or are very slow moving.
  
• Discontinuous feeders: Consume larger meals and store the ingested food for later digestion. These animals generally are more active and can avoid predators. Hence, the animals that feed discontinuously must have digestive tracts that permit storage and are able to avoid predators by limiting their feeding time.

So, the correct answer is 'both (b) and (c).
