Solution

The correct option is C rabbits
Minamata disease is caused because of eating of poisoned animals that contain water-soluble dimethylmercury. Thus animals which feed on marine plants or animals suffered from this disease. Rabbits fed only on terrestrial plants and therefore remained free of the disease.
So, the correct option is 'Rabbits'.
