- B.

- A.
  
  Omnivore
- B.
  
  Carnivore
- C.
  
  Herbivore
- D.
  
  None
Correct Answer
C. Herbivore

Explanation
The feeding adaptation of the organism in question is herbivore. This means that it primarily consumes plant material as its main source of food. Herbivores have specialized digestive systems that allow them to break down and extract nutrients from plant matter efficiently. They often have specialized teeth and jaws for grinding and chewing plant material, as well as longer digestive tracts to aid in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients from plants. This adaptation allows the organism to obtain the necessary energy and nutrients from a diet consisting mainly of plants.
