Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the term 'herbivore.' Herbivores are organisms that primarily consume plants as their main source of nutrition.
Step 2: Compare the definition of herbivores with the options provided. Eliminate options that do not align with the definition of herbivores.
Step 3: Option 1 states 'Organisms that primarily consume plants,' which matches the definition of herbivores. Keep this option for further consideration.
Step 4: Option 2 states 'Organisms that decompose dead organic matter,' which describes decomposers, not herbivores. Eliminate this option.
Step 5: Option 3 states 'Organisms that consume both plants and animals,' which describes omnivores, and Option 4 states 'Organisms that primarily consume other animals,' which describes carnivores. Eliminate both options as they do not match the definition of herbivores.
