What defines a carnivore?

  1. Consumes only plants

  2. Eats both plants and animals

  3. Eats only animals

  4. Does not eat plants or animals

The correct answer is: Eats only animals

A carnivore is an animal that primarily feeds on other animals for sustenance. This means that they rely heavily on consuming meat and do not have the physical ability to digest plant matter. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the exclusive diet of a carnivore. Option D is also incorrect because carnivores do eat animals for sustenance.
