Solution

The correct option is A Herbivory
Because of the relative difficulty with which various kinds of plant foods are broken down, due to a lot of indigestible fibers, herbivores have significantly long small intestine than carnivores. Herbivores consume plants or plant products containing a high proportion of cellulose and must ferment their food to obtain the nutrient value. The herbivores typically have a simple stomach and a long small intestine for complete digestion and absorption of the complex molecules which needs more time.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
