Solution

The correct option is B Herbivores
The small intestine is longer in a herbivore than in carnivore or any other type because herbivores eats only grass which is full of cellulose. The digestion of cellulose takes long time which is why herbivores require long small intestine, but carnivores dont need a long small intestine for digestion as it consumes only the flesh of herbivores.
