“Carnivorous” classifies the “Panther” by diet. In the same way, “Herbivorous” classifies which animal among the options?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Buffalo

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Biological analogies often use dietary classifications. A panther is carnivorous (meat-eating). We must choose an animal that is herbivorous (plant-eating), preserving the classification relation from the stem.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Carnivorous → Panther (big cats are meat-eaters).
  • Herbivorous → ? (choose a plant-eater).

Concept / Approach:Among the options, buffalo is herbivorous (grazing on grasses/vegetation). Tiger, lion, and leopard are carnivorous big cats, so they do not fit the required herbivore classification.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Identify relation type: diet classification.2) Select the herbivore from the list.3) Choose “Buffalo.”

Verification / Alternative check:Zoological references list bovines as herbivores; big cats are obligate carnivores.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Tiger, lion, and leopard are predators; not herbivores.

Common Pitfalls:Assuming any large mammal could be herbivorous without checking taxonomy and diet.

Final Answer:Buffalo
