Horse
Answer
B.
Sheep
C.
Both A and B
D.
Goat

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Horse is non-ruminant.
Horses are non-ruminant, simple-stomached herbivores. They are hindgut fermenters, meaning the large intestine is the main site of fermentation of fibrous feedstuffs. This differs from ruminant animals like cattle, goats, deer, and sheep, which are foregut fermenters with a rumen and multicompartment stomach.
