Solution

The correct option is C Caecum
In herbivores like rabbit, the symbiotic bacteria and protozoans present in the caecum, help in digestion of cellulose into glucose. So, the digestion of cellulose takes place in caecum by the process of decomposition. This decomposition process is very slow. So, very less amount of cellulose is digested at a time in caecum.
