B. 4 chamber stomach = external structural and chewing cud = behavioral
C. 4 chamber stomach = internal structural and chewing cud = external structural
D. 4 chamber stomach = internal structural and chewing cud = behavioral

Answer 1

The answer is option A "4 chamber stomach = behavioral and chewing cud = internal structural"

Step-by-step explanation:

Goats and other ruminants do not digest food directly as they eat their food and the reason is that ruminants do not have the enzymes that are necessary for breaking down the food directly as they eat so digestion in ruminants and particularly Goats has to undergo processes or procedures before the final digestion takes place.

All the processes in digestion for ruminant animals takes place in their four chambered stomachs which are the Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum and Abomassum.

In the four chambered stomach of Goat, the type of adaptation is behavioral and chewing cud which is the internal structure.
