The correct option is D

Spider


Digestive juices play a major role in the digestion of food. They help in breaking down the food into simpler, absorbable particles. Spiders puke out their digestive juices and let them process the food and then consume it. So, the digestion takes place outside their body. Like spiders, houseflies, some varieties of parasites and some species of mushrooms also digest the food outside their body.
