Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) Wood

Explanation

Grazing animals eat the soft, nutritious parts of plants: leaves, green stems, young shoots and sometimes bark or shallow roots.

Wood is the secondary xylem of a tree. It is hard, made largely of lignin and cellulose, and offers little nourishment, so grazing animals do not eat it.
