Solution
The correct option is C partially digested
- When ruminants such as cow, buffalo eat grass, they swallow them rapidly and pass it into a chamber known as the rumen.
- Bacteria present in the rumen then secrete cellulase which helps in the breakdown of cellulose present in the grass.
- This partially digested grass is known as the cud. It is regurgitated back to the animal's mouth from the stomach for further chewing and digestion.
