Answer

D.

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Horse is a Non ruminant hoofed.
The horse is a domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammal.
Horses are not ruminants, they have only one stomach, like humans, but unlike humans, they can use cellulose, a major component of grass.
The horse hoof begins with the distal phalanges, the equivalent of the human fingertip or tip of the toe, surrounded by cartilage and other specialized, blood-rich soft tissues such as the laminae. The hoof continually grows, and in most domesticated horses needs to be trimmed.
