    A)  Mosquito       

    B)  Scorpion

    C)  Spider          

    D)  Cockroach

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Saprozoic type of feeding habit is found in spider, house fly etc. A few animals do not ingest solid food, instead they secrete  digestive enzymes directly into their food outside the body. Their food is dead or decaying matter. The food is thus digested  outside the body by the digestive enzymes  and then the animals take in digested food.   This is called saprozoic nutrition. Omnivores eat both plants and other animals,  eg, cockroach, crow, rat etc. Sanguivores feed on blood of vertebrates, eg female mosquitoes, leeches.
