Solution
The correct option is A I-sucks nectar, II-swallows prey, III-chews food
Different animals have different food habits. As the food habits differ, the modes of intake of food also differ. Here, the hummingbird feeds on the nectar of the flowers and therefore the beak is long and pipe like to suck the nectar from even the deeper parts of the flower. The snakes catch the prey and swallow it entirely. Therefore the muscles associated with their jaws are extremely powerful and they can swallow prey of larger size as well. Dogs are basically carnivorous and they tear the flesh and chew it before swallowing. Therefore the teeth are well developed in their jaws.
