Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Digestion mechanism of Herdmania is similar to that of higher group of animals due to possessing several enzymes used in digestion.

In Herdmania, the liver secretes a yellowish-brown digestive fluid into the stomach, it has many enzymes, an amylase which splits carbohydrates into maltose, a protease which breaks down proteins and a weak lipase which probably acts on fats.

And also secretion of pyloric gland probably has an accessory digestive function similar to that of pancreas.
