Q. Which one of the following is a filter feeder?
Answer: C
Notes:
- Filter Feeder is an animal (such as a clam or baleen whale) that obtains its food by filtering organic matter or minute organisms from a current of water that passes through some part of its system.
- Oysters are natural filter feeders. This means they feed by pumping water through their gills, trapping particles of food as well as nutrients, suspended sediments and chemical contaminants.
- Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
