Solution

The correct option is D Foliate
Rabbits have extra taste buds compared to humans. There are two structures on the tongue that carry taste buds: mushroom shaped lobes (fungiform papillae) and leaf shaped lobes (foliate papillae). Humans only have taste buds on the fungiform papillae, while rabbits have taste buds on both the fungiform and foliate papillae.
