Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores. Therefore, if elephants eat leaves, bark, and fruits, they are herbivores. :)

A. Herbivore

Explanation:

Herbivorous animals are organisms that feed on autotrophic beings, that is, they feed on leaves, fruits, barks and any part of vegetables. An example of a carnivorous animal is the elephant, as shown in the question above.

Herbivores play a very important role in the food chain, since they are the primary consumers. They are responsible for bringing the vitamins and energy present in plants to carnivorous animals.

The number of herbivores is believed to represent approximately 50% of the world's fauna.
