The correct answer is C) Some animals are carnivores.
This is a logic question: you may only conclude what necessarily follows from the statements, not what you know to be true in real life. Felines are animals, and the first statement says that some felines are carnivores. So at least some animals are carnivores.
A) Incorrect: The statements never say that any animal needs meat to survive.
B) Incorrect: Only some felines are said to be carnivores, so we cannot jump to “all animals”.
C) Correct: Some felines are carnivores, and felines are animals, so some animals are carnivores.
D) Incorrect: Preferences are never mentioned. “Favourite food” is not something the statements talk about.
E) Incorrect: It is true in real life, but the statements say nothing about animals that do not eat meat, so it does not follow from them.
