Solution
The correct option is D Cats While cats occasionally eat grass or plants, they do not do this because their bodies need vitamin C. Both cats and dogs are able to synthesize their own vitamin C in their liver. Humans lost this ability long ago, requiring them to obtain vitamin C from plant sources. So, a cat does not need vitamin C. It may be, however, that at certain times vitamin C could be conditionally essential for a cat, such as during times of extreme stress or illness.
