Solution

The correct option is A ruminants
Animals like cows and goats feed on grass which is rich in cellulose. Cellulose is difficult to digest, because of which after initial ingestion, the animals bring it back from the stomach into their mouth to chew it for some more time. Such animals are known as ruminants.
