The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Cannibalism**: The term "cannibal" refers to organisms that consume members of their own species. This is a specific behavior seen in various animals, including humans in certain contexts. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Carcass** - This refers to the dead bodies of animals. While cannibals may consume carcasses, this term does not specifically denote feeding on one's own species. - **Option B: Blood** - This option suggests feeding on blood, which is characteristic of certain parasitic organisms (e.g., leeches). This does not define cannibalism. - **Option C: Carnivorous** - This term describes animals that primarily eat meat. While cannibals are carnivorous, this term is too broad and does not specifically indicate feeding on their own species. - **Option D: Members of Own Species** - This option directly defines cannibalism, as it refers to the act of consuming individuals of the same species. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and the analysis of the options, the correct answer is **Option D: Members of Own Species**. ---
