Hint: For growth and development of animal food is very important, animal feeding habitats differ. Sometimes it also depends on the availability of food in the present environment. There are various classes in which animals have been divided on the basis of its feeding habitat.

Complete answer
To solve this question, we have to know about the feeding nature of animals. Sanguivores are those animals that solely feed upon the blood of other animals. There are some sanguivorous animals which feed on other food materials apart from blood, they are known as obligate sanguivores. For example Vampire bats, white-winged vampire bats.

Animals that mainly depend on fruits are known as Frugivorous animals. They belong to the category of herbivores or omnivores. An example of mammalian frugivores is a maned wolf.

Animals that feed on organic matter present in soil are known as decomposers. They break down the organic matter present in the soil. For example earthworms.

Animals that feed upon insects are known as entomophagy. They are carnivores in nature. For example Birds, dragonflies.

Thus the right option is b i.e animals that feed on the blood of other animals.

Note: Feeding habits of animals differ from each other, primarily on the basis of feeding habits they are divided into. (i)Carnivores (ii)Omnivores (iii)Herbivores.
Herbivore eats only plants, and in them, the front teeth are sharp which is known as an incisor . Carnivore eats the flesh of animals, in them, canines are sharp whereas omnivores eat both and lack such specialization in teeth.
