A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

Soln:

The answer is (b) swallowed and partially digested.

Explanation:

Ruminants quickly swallow the grass and store it in a part of the stomach called the rumen. Here the food gets partially digested and is called cud. But later, the cud returns to the mouth in small lumps, and the animal chews it. This process is called rumination.
