Solution

The correct option is D

Pigs


The digestive system of an organism is highly influenced by the diet of an organism. Cows have a four-chambered stomach and undergo rumination in order to digest cellulose consumed through the grass.

Lions are carnivorous and eat meat. Meat is easy to digest as it is cellulose free. Hence lion's digestive system is much simpler than human.

Chimpanzees may have a similar genetic structure to that of humans, but they mostly eat fibrous food and hence they have bigger large intestine to extract nutrients from the fiber they consume.

Pigs are omnivores just like humans are. So the digestive system will be most similar (but not the same).
