Solution

The correct option is C Rumen
  • The animals which partially digest food have a four-chambered stomach and the process of digestion is as follows: The food is chewed and swallowed quickly and passed into the first stomach called Rumen.
  • Then the microorganisms help in breaking down the food and this partially digested food is called cud. Hence, the rumen is the stomach part in which herbivores secretes the grass which is swallowed quickly.
So, the correct answer is 'rumen'.
