The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding coprophagy, we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding Coprophagy**: - Coprophagy is the behavior of consuming feces. This behavior allows certain animals to re-digest their food, extracting more nutrients from it. It is commonly observed in some herbivorous animals. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option (a)**: Insectivorous animals like Frog - Frogs primarily eat insects and do not engage in coprophagy. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option (b)**: Carnivorous animals like Tiger - Tigers are carnivorous and do not consume feces as part of their diet. Hence, this option is also incorrect. - **Option (c)**: Herbivorous animals like Rabbit - Rabbits are known to practice coprophagy. They consume their own feces to re-digest food and absorb more nutrients. This makes this option correct. - **Option (d)**: None of the above - Since we have identified that herbivorous animals like rabbits do engage in coprophagy, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **(c) Herbivorous animals like Rabbit**.
