Answer 1

The correct option is C

Most carnivores have a single chambered stomach, but a cow has a 4 chambered stomach.

Most carnivores have a single chambered stomach, but cows have 4 chambers in their stomach which helps in the digestion of cellulose in them. Cellulose is the main component of grasses and other green plants.
