The correct answer is A) Four.
Domestic animals like cattle, buffalo, goat, and sheep are ruminants. Ruminants possess a unique digestive system featuring a four-chambered stomach.
The four chambers are the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The rumen is the largest chamber where microbial fermentation of plant material occurs. The abomasum is the true glandular stomach, similar to that of monogastric animals.
