Final answer:
Option (3), The rabbit belongs to the family called Lagomorphs, which are characterized by long ears, a short tail, and strong hind limbs that allow for bouncing locomotion and are distinct from rodents and other mammalian families.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rabbit belongs to the family called Lagomorphs. This family includes hares and rabbits, which are known for their long ears, a short tail, and strong hind limbs that are adapted for a bouncing method of locomotion. They are all terrestrial herbivores of small to medium size. In contrast to Rodentia, which includes rats, mice, and other gnawing animals with continuously growing incisors, Lagomorphs have a different dental structure and must not be confused with Rodentia.
Rabbits, as members of the Lagomorphs, share the characteristic trait of hair in their evolutionary history, distinguishing them from other clades such as reptiles and amphibians. Given their distinct attributes and evolutionary lineage, it is clear that the rabbit does not fall under Canidae (which includes dogs), Rodentia (which includes rats), or Feline (which includes cats).
